April Fools ... I Don't Think So!!!

"The economy is turning around and there are employment opportunities coming into Career Services each day." Is this an April Fools joke, no way! Over the past months, we have seen a spike in the number of positions posted through the RU Career Account system. During the same timeframe of the past academic year, we are up 30% in the number of posted opportunities. And it is not just a numbers game ... there are many high quality, desirable career positions. Many of the name employers from across the region have ramped up their recruiting efforts and are hitting the college campuses. OK, these employers will not come up and knock on your door. You need to get out there and make yourself known. Set up and utilize your RU Career Account. Directly contact any employers of interest. Complete a self evaluation and have a clear understanding of who you are and what you want to do. Put all of these ideas together and you can achieve career satisfaction. Remember, Career Services can assist you with each step of the process. Do not hesitate to call (816.501.4861) or stop by Massman 3 and see what we have for you. Good luck! Mike
