Career Services Update - week of September 12, 2005!

 

* Congratulations New Hire! – James Godley interned at Target in Bangor this summer and has parlayed that into a full time job in loss prevention when he graduates.  So what have we learned?  Yes, if you plan to do any shoplifting you’re going to run into James.  But more importantly is this:  Even if you don’t get a job with your internship employer you will gain valuable experience that will translate well to other jobs.   Way to go James!

 

* Mark Your Calendar  –  The Career Services office is in the process of coordinating on-campus visits for the fall.  Here is what we have so far:

 

This Tuesday (today or tomorrow – depending on when you read this).  A representative from Mass Connections will be in front of the Dining Center from 8:00am until 9:30am.  Mass Connections employees conduct product demonstrations at large retailers all over the country (the Mass is quantity not Massachusetts – they’re actually from California…).  Starting pay is 14 bucks an hour and the scheduling is flexible.  If you’re from outside of Maine you can take this job with you when you go home on break.

 

Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker will host an info session on Tuesday October 4th in the Atrium.  Exact times will be announced later.  This is ahead of their interview day on October 13th.

 

The Washington Center , a Thomas partner, will be here on campus October 12th discussing internship possibilities in our nation’s capital.

 

Dawson, Smith Purvis & Basset will have an interview session on October 19th.

 

There’s a doubleheader scheduled for October 20th.  It’s MacDonald Page interview Day AND Woodford’s Family Services will be on campus as well.

 

There will be more – and I’ll have details about these as we get a little closer.
