The Dean's List Blog - Recent Posts Presidential Search Delayed Coed Blue All in the Family Career Services Corner with Brian Hirsch Keys to the Career Kingdom – Part 3 Be Proactive The current economic environment really calls for planning on the part of students and upcoming graduates. What are the time and resource requirements of any application process? What are the skills and experiences needed by a given organization to make one a viable candidate? What is the best way to gain the experience required? What is the plan for communicating qualifications to a prospective employer or even a graduate or professional school? All of these elements take thought and time on the part of the individual applicant. The information gathering phase that should precede any actual application also takes time; but the better informed one is about the organization’s expectation of the applicant, the better the chances of having the right message, at the right time, to the right organization. Career Services specializes in assisting students to develop their application plans and is available to talk with students by appointment. Dr. Brian Hirsch is the Director of Career Services Student Health 101 - April Edition The April Student Health 101 will soon be distributed to all students.
