Opening Day
OK, OK, OK ... the baseball fan in me is coming out. With the start of another academic year, it does seem like Opening Day to me. Let the games begin.
We in Career Services can't emphasize enough ... if you are looking to explore internship and/or full-time employment opportunities, you need to start looking NOW!!! Many of the employers we spoke with over the summer months mentioned they will be looking for candidates, can be very selective and will do most of their recruiting during the fall. If you wait until the last minute ... you will be left behind.
During a recent conversation with a local employer, they mentioned the number of applicants received for a recent administrative assistant position. The total pool climbed to over 800! One more reminder of how tight things are and if you are employed, count your blessings.
Good luck to all and keep reading.
