Update - week of November 22, 2004!
* Congratulations
New Hire – Karla
Brannen will spend tax season as an intern in
* E-Portfolio
TV/DVD Raffle – This raffle is open to any day student!!!!
Between
now and December 10th any day
student who creates and puts at least 3 documents in an e-portfolio is
eligible for the drawing. If you’ve
already created an e-portfolio you’re in the drawing (providing there are 3
documents in the portfolio). To view how
to create an e-portfolio follow the directions
located here. If you are not an FS110 student you must give me (Bill Schissler)
access to view the portfolio (that’s how I can put you in the drawing). The directions show how this is done – you
should also consider giving your advisor access as well.
During
Finals week, one student will be selected at random and that person will win
the TV/DVD player
To
assist you I am offering an E-Portfolio Workshop in Room 122 Monday November 29
at 3:30pm. It will only take about half
an hour.
* Job Hunting Tips
– According to the National Association of Colleges
and Employers Job Outlook 2005 Survey your appearance in an interview
matters. This year decision makers are less tolerant than in years past. Almost half of the employers surveyed
indicated that if you wear non-traditional business attire to your interview it
would negatively impact the outcome (so you should always wear a business
suit). General grooming had a strong
influence on 70% of respondents (not to mention their olfactory organs). Non traditional hair (color or style), body
piercings (that can be seen), obvious tattoos and a bad handshake all have a
negative impact with at least 25% of the recruiters surveyed.
Hey
– don’t dismiss that lump on the couch this Thursday. Remember, holiday gatherings are a great
place for networking. Don’t be afraid to
ask family and friends what they’re up to and who they’re hiring this holiday
season. If you’re in the market for a
job let them know. They have to help you
(that’s what a family is for).
Career Services
will be closed Tuesday (11/23) and will re-open Monday 11/29
Have a great week!
