iPod Giveaway – Now
that I have your attention let’s get down to business. I realize that working on your resume isn’t
the most glamorous activity this time of year, so I figured you could use an
incentive to meet with me to go over it.
If you are a day student and
you make and keep an appointment with Career Services to work on your resume
between now and December 15th you will be placed in a drawing to win
a 4 gig iPod Nano (Product) Red. This little baby holds 1,000 songs and the
purchase of it helps the Global
Fund fight AIDS in Africa. If you’ve
met with me this semester email me (with your resume) and you’re in too. If you met with me in a previous semester
it’s time for another meeting.
