Career Services Update - week of April 3, 2006!

* Congratulations New Hire! – Kristy Squiers spent part of her break securing a Business Management Internship with Walgreens in Massachusetts. She will start her internship in June.

* Mark Your Calendar – The Maine Recruiting Consortium is sponsoring the Maine Tourism & Hospitality Fair. The fair will focus on summer jobs, is open to all college students and will be held this Friday April 7^th from 1:00 – 4:00pm at the Augusta Civic Center. You are encouraged to pre-register online prior to the event.

* Job Hunting – I can’t stress enough the importance of knowing the name of the decision maker when you apply for a job. Sure, there are times when “to whom it may concern” is appropriate – but don’t be afraid to pick up the phone and ask who is in charge of hiring. You can also make sure you’re spelling that person’s name correctly (many employers will automatically rule you out if you don’t). Maybe the most important aspect is that you give yourself an opportunity to make an impression beyond what’s on paper when you take a chance and speak directly to that manager.

* New Job Openings – Child and Family Opportunities is looking for a Finance Director. Lepage Bakeries is looking for an Administrative Assistant and a Summer Office Intern. Cianbro has 2 openings for Programmer/Analysts. Farris Law has a full-time Accounting position. Energy East has openings for Interns in IT (in Augusta) and Accounting in (New Gloucester).
