Calling All Seniors!

Are you a senior getting ready to enter the workforce; this can be a very trying time and a nerve-wracking one as well. Although I am not a senior, while meeting last summer with professionals I experience the “real world” first hand. It was definitely one that you want to be fully prepared for and have a smooth transition into. Career Services and Counseling Services have teamed up to present to all seniors insight on how to make your transition from college to career. It will take place on Wednesday, February 23rd  at 4pm in SS2; this is sure to be a great presentation and a very helpful one as well.

Wrestling with an Undeclared Major, No Problem?

Are you undecided about your major; this is not a bad thing. Being undecided affords you the opportunity to sample courses from many majors and choose one that fits your likes and interests. We all were at some point undecided majors within our college careers and it takes time to figure out exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life. For instance, I understood coming to B-W that I wanted to be a business major, what I did not know was what area I wanted to pursue. I eventually took courses from different majors within the department and settled on one that fit me well and that I could see myself doing. If you are undecided about a major or career path, Career Services can help you. On Thursday, February 24th we are hosting an event to help undecided students prepare to declare a major. It will take place in SS3 during community hour.  So come on down and PREPARE TO DECLARE!

Governement jobs webinars

No fear Career Services is here!
With graduation quickly approaching, finding a job is taking the number one spot on many college students to do lists. Does the secret service or FBI sound like your dream job? Well you’re in luck because Career Services is having a webinar directed towards students who are interested in jobs and internships with the federal government. This webinar will highlight a number of internships across government, and show students how to research, find and apply for an internship that is right for them. Even if you are not completely sure if this may be the right fit for you, give it a try anyway and who knows you may find that working with the federal government is perfect for you! For me personally, whenever I am not completely sure if I should attend an event by Career Services I give the office a call or simply go anyway. That way I do not feel guilty for not going and to my surprise the event turns out to be very helpful.

There are going to be two webinars on 2/8/11 and 2/16/11 both of which you can call and register for at 440.826.2101. Don’t forget, you can always register for any Career Services events on the B-W Career Network, too
