Welcome back, after what was hopefully a relaxing and enjoyable winter break! The campus just wasn’t the same without you here.

And now classes begin tomorrow and, if you haven’t started already, now is a good time to get moving on your internship or job search. Here’s three tips to get you started: Get […]

One week from today classes start up again.

From the NACE May 26, 2010 Spotlight Advising Students on Career Fair Participation Since their inception, career fairs have been an event designed to help students interact with employers, and many students used the opportunity to get their resumes into the hands of recruiters. Now, however, some career services practitioners are finding that some employers are not accepting resumes at career fairs and, instead, are directing students to apply online. How should students approach the career fair if this trend continues? What is their purpose for attending? Mike Mrozowski, chief of the recruitment and development branch of the Federal Energy […]

I was watching Millionaire Matchmaker (don’t judge) and she was “evaluating” this one poor girl and she had her take off her pantyhose right in front of her and said, “Don’t ever wear pantyhose, ever.” And it made me realize why so many people are confused on what to wear for interviewing and/or career fairs. On the one hand pantyhose are not in style but on the other hand they are professional. So I realize the mixed messaging you are getting out there for what’s appropriate and there has never been a greater mystery for college students than trying to […]
