Visit us in Jobland

Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to the first ever student blog from BW’s Career Services. My name is Ryan D’Arcy, and this is my second year working in the Career Services Office. I major in Marketing, with an Economics minor, and I just began my senior year here at BW. The purpose of this blog is to help inform students of the wide array of help and services offered at Career Services. Aside from working in the Career Services Office, I have also taken advantage of many things they offer. Through the Career Services Office, I was able to get a full-time paid internship last summer, as well as 2 part-time internships during the year.

For those of you who have never taken advantage of Career Services, I would highly recommend contacting the office (440.826.2101 or x2101 on campus) to get your BW Career Network username & password. Logging on to the Career Network allows you to search and apply for jobs & internships, as well as find out about upcoming Career Services events. However, be sure to meet with a career advisor to go over your resume and/or your cover letter before applying to any jobs or internships. The career advisors will show you how to use particular language in your resume, and they will also help you format the resume to look respectable to prospective employers.

Be sure to stop in for any reason, or if you just want to see an especially good looking guy at the front desk. Good luck with the semester, and keep checking the blog for updates. You can also check out the Career Services’ Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook accounts for other updates.
