Upcoming Career.... Things!

Hey, everyone. It's time for a little news!

In the coming months, Career Services has a few career-related events coming up that could be quite interesting to some of you! Not only do we have visits from potential employers, but we've also got our annual business etiquette dinner (with a new name, which I don't know), and another Career Fair!

First up is a visit from Fremont-Winema National Forests. They're going to be doing an information desk and workshop on Tuesday, January 18th in the College Union. While that's going on, they'll be taking names for people interested in interviewing for a summer job. Those will take place on the 19th and 20th here at Career Services! So just as a recap:
Information Desk: Tuesday, January 18 9am-2pm - College Union
Workshop: Tuesday, January 18 2pm - Mt. Thielsen, College Union
Interviews: Wednesday/Thursday, January 19/20 - Career Services

Make sure you stop by if you're interested!

Next up is a visit from Hewlett-Packard in Boise, Idaho. They're looking to hire a "Firmware Engineer" but from what I hear, that's not all! They'll be meeting with students on Thursday, January 20th between 9am and 5pm. But you have to sign up to meet with them! You'll need a Career Services Online account and a resume to post. Don't be lazy, though! Interview sign-ups will close on the 17th.

If you're interested in signing up, visit Career Services Online, create an account if you haven't already upload your resume, and do a search for Schedule ID 74. You can reserve a 1 hour interview spot there! Remember the interview I did with Clint Moran? This is how he got his job at HP.

Moving on to February...

The Oracle Academy will be stopping by to give a lecture on turning your collection of class assignments into a portfolio to help you snatch your job in industry. Look for them in Purvine 206 on Tuesday, February 8th at 11am if you're interested! It should be way cool.

Also in February is our annual business etiquette dinner. This is a great opportunity to learn how to dine with professionals! That lunch or dinner invitation you received from a recruiter? Yeah, that's an interview. Come to the event and get school on how to ace this interview without breaking a sweat. Event name is pending...... but it'll be GOOD! The event is scheduled for Thursday, February 17th between 5:30pm and 8:00pm. Contact Jan Goodyear for more details and RSVP information at 541.885.1023.

Lastly we have our Spring Career Fair. Scheduled for Tuesday, March 1st, it's another Career Fair as portrayed in my Career Fair Keepsakes. Companies that love to hire us and the SWAG (Stuff We All Get) that they love to give to us. This is an excellent way to get your foot in the door with your favorite company (if they're attending, of course). Come down and meet the recruiters on Tuesday, March 2nd from 1:00pm to 4:00pm!

It's going to be a busy Spring! Make of it the best you can! Signing off.
