Career Services Update - week of November 18, 2002!

 

* Career One Stop - This is a publicly-funded resource for jobseekers and businesses.  Find jobs--from entry level to technical to professional to CEO. Locate public workforce services in your area.  Explore alternative career paths, compare salary data for different occupations, learn which careers are hot, get resume writing tips and job interview strategies, and much more!

 

*Virtual Internships - We have listed our first virtual internship on our job posting page.  To learn about more potential virtual internships, check the listings here.

 

* Careers in Government - Please open the following document to learn more about current government positions.  The closing date for applications is December 6!  http://www.thomas.edu/career/outstandingscholar.doc.

 

* Brown Bag Lunch Series - Please join "Mad Dog" Wallace, Betty-Jane Meader, & Karen as they discuss Marketing Yourself.  This discussion will take place in the Board Room on December 4, from 12:15 - 1:15.  If you were unable to attend the first discussion on Applying to Grad School, you can click here to find the notes from the discussion.

 

* SENIORS - We would like to encourage you to let us put your name on our job board!  Remember the 'college board' from your high school days?  Everyone who was headed to college had their name and their school listed for all to see?  Our job board is designed to share your good news with the Thomas College community!  Let us know when you have accepted a position that begins after graduation so we can put your name up!

 

* Career Fairs - Remember in our 11/04/2002 update, we told you the top places employers find new hires?  Well, Career Fairs came in number 5 on that list.  We've put together a list of all the upcoming fairs that are open to you as Thomas students.  If there is enough interest in a particular fair, the Career Services office will be happy to arrange transportation. 

 

* Last chance!  Get your entries into our office for our November contest!  Details here!

 

* Out of state internships - You asked and we listened!  Internweb.com is a great on-line tool to locate internships beyond the state of Maine boundaries! 

 

* One last note...

 

Do you believe in life after death?" the boss asked one of his employees.

"Yes, Sir." the new recruit replied.

"Well, then, that makes everything just fine," the boss went on. "After you left early yesterday to go to your grandmother's funeral, she stopped in to see you."
