While in the midst of your job search, remember that government jobs are always available. Government opportunities encompass all majors. To further investigate, I would suggest using www.usajobs.org. This site allows job seekers to search for jobs all over the country in numerous fields and departments. Divided into sections for specific populations (veterans, individuals with disabilities, senior executives , students and recent grads), this website serves a wide range of people. The Students and Recent Grad section contains information on how to search and apply for government jobs or programs. This is a great resource for those interested in working for the government.
Check out the website www.usajobs.gov . If you find a position of interest, print it out and make an appointment with a career advisor. Career Services can help with the steps involved in applying for the position. Our office is located in Room 104, Bonds, and our phone number is 440.826.2101.

Interview Tips
Interviews may be the most nerve racking part of finding that dream job, but with proper preparation, you can turn that dreadful interview into the first step to obtaining that job! The fist step to take is to do your research! If you don't come prepared for an interview, this gives the impression that you will not come to the job prepared as well. Next, practice your 30-second elevator speech. This will showcase your talents and experiences and allow employers to have a quick glimpse at your acheivements. Lastly, during the interview answer all questions honestly and to the point. Also, provide examples to support your answers. Try not to hesitate, or avoid answering questions. The more confident you are with yourself, the more confident you will appear to employers! I personally have learned from my own mistakes. In past interviews, to make myself seem more interested, I would as numerous questions, even if they do not pertain to the job I was being interviewed for. Instead of appearing interested, I know now I was asking far too many irrelevant questions. My personal tip is to ask questions but limit them and make sure they are relevant to your specific job and the company.
To help students with the fear or anxiety about interviews, Career Services is hosting an Interview Prep Workshop For All Majors next Tuesday in the Union.
Time: 12-1pm
Date: November 8th
Location: Student Union, Sandstone 1
