Parents Just Don’t Understand

Do you remember this? Or rather…have you ever heard of this? httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW3PFC86UNI My point is, I get it. I know you think that no one understands you, that you know what to do in every situation and you wish people like parents, professors, college administrators, public safety or your roommate would stop telling you what to do and treat you like adults. But, just like Facebook likes to suggest things to you (people you may know things, you may like), we like to make some good suggestions too. Not that you don’t already know it…but it’s worth pointing out.  So […]

A Model Idiot?

A lot of times working in a career center is like swimming upstream; it’s tiring having to constantly illustrate how valuable our services are and make students believe us! Luckily NACE (the National Association of Colleges and Employers) has done some of the work for us by spotlighting –in tangible numbers– the value of using career services.

What’s left to ponder?” Results from NACE’s 2010 Student Survey show: The likelihood of a student getting a job offer increased with the frequency of […]

by Brad Karsh: President and Founder, JobBound Although the task of finding a job may seem too tough to tackle, it’s really quite simple when you compare it to one of your favorite pastimes: dating. Just like burping out the alphabet or talking to your ex at the dinner table are sure-fire ways to blow a date, there are some things you just don’t want to do when trying to find a job.
