Mentoring Relationships: what is a mentor and how do you find one
As you may know a major part of your college career is building your network. There are various ways you can build professional relationships and one of those ways is with the help of a mentor. Just as a professor provides you with the educational aspect you need to succeed in college your mentor will provide you with the professional aspect.
Your mentor should be someone you trust and someone who would be able to give you advice in your relative career or field through their own experiences and contacts. One way you can find a mentor is through the Career Services Office online tool Career Connections which can be found on the Baldin-Wallace Career Network. On this website you will have the opportunity to choose from various persons who are all willing to mentor students.
Stop by the office to make an appointment with a Career Advisor to learn more about getting a mentor!

Government Jobs
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

Studying Abroad Opens the Door to the Rest of the World!
With the end of the semester approaching fast, have you thought about what other experiences you want to gain while you are at B-W? Getting involved and pursuing developmental experiences are important and can be extremely rewarding later on in life. Here at B-W there are numerous opportunities available for students to take part in.
Mark Twain once said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” There are infinite possibilities available to you in college that can change the way you think and act, and studying abroad is just one way to explore, dream, and discover.
Studying abroad is the process of pursuing academic coursework in a different country. For those looking to take the plunge, there are many types of excursions to choose from. There are typical semester and year-long experiences available throughout the school year and over the summer, but here at B-W, there are also options for shorter trips. These shorter trips, which are generally faculty-led, can range from 2-weeks to 1 month. The Study Abroad Office here at B-W can give you more details on types of trips, locations, and what academic programs are available.
Not only does study abroad allow you to travel, but the experience exposes you to different perspectives and ways of life. While your comfort zone may be challenged, you will gain insights into worlds you know little about and develop friendships that will last a lifetime. But the rewards don’t stop there. A study abroad experience can be influential on a resume and provide you with a new outlook on your job search or career path.
Studying abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can shape the way you live your life.
So are you ready to expand your knowledge base, meet new people and see what the world has to offer? Then why not talk with the study abroad office and see what experiences are in store for you!

Internships
I personally consider internships to be just as important as going to class. Being inside of a classroom and listening to your professor explain what it would be like to work in a particular field is one thing; actually working in your field of choice and gaining knowledge from applying those learned skills is completely different! Not only do internships provide you with that extra experience, it also builds your resume which helps you to stand out above your peers. Students can make an appointment with an advisor to have a 30 minute session for a resume review or to answer any other career related questions. Career Services offers Exploring Internships Workshops to help students who are searching for internhips. In addition,

But enough talk about resumes. When applying for a job or internship, a lot of organizations may also want a cover letter from you. If you do not know what a cover letter is, let me explain. It is a brief description of who you are, what your experiences have been in that field, and why you are interested in the job or internship.

Having a strong cover letter will really help you to be remembered when it comes to interviewing. You can also come into our office for an appointment to go over your cover letter.
Remember it is never too late to build your resume or start on a cover letter. With great resources at B-W, you will be prepared with a flawless resume and cover letter to land the job or internship you really want.

Discovering the Right Path for Your Future
Being in college doesn’t guarantee having all the answers. There may be times when you feel like you are the only person who has yet to declare a major or decide what you want to do after college, but I promise you are not alone.
According to an MSNBC article by Gayle B. Ronan, “Eighty percent of college-bound students have yet to choose a major.” Furthermore, the article goes on to say that around fifty percent of students who have declared a major can end up changing their major an additional two or three more times.
The decisions faced in college can be frustrating, and when it comes to picking the path that is right for you, Baldwin-Wallace Career Services is here to help. Don’t even know where to start? That’s okay. By coming in to Career Services and getting information for logging in, students can access a site called Discover. Through a simple online survey that you can take from the comfort of your residence hall, Discover helps to assess your interests, abilities, and values. Once completed, Discover points out career areas that may be compatible for you. It is recommended that students come in for an appointment with an advisor after completing the Discover survey. As someone who has personally utilized Discover, I can tell you that talking with someone who is trained to read your results is a great help.
Whether you are undecided, unsure, or just seeking general career advice, the advisors at Baldwin-Wallace are always willing to help you take the first (or second) step in the right direction for your future.

College is the fastest four years of your life. Sometimes as freshmen, you don’t realize the opportunities available to begin the job and internship search! Your future starts the first day you start school at B-W, and it is never too early to start working on building your resume and making career connections. One easy way of doing this is by participating in on-campus recruiting. Through on-campus recruiting, companies and business come to B-W to recruit students for internships and jobs. No matter what year you are, it is a great way to make connections with employers and to get to know what is that they do, and also what they look for in an employee.
The Career & Internship Expo, one of our largest events here in Career Services, takes place in November. Last year over 70 companies participated. They want to meet students like you, and answer any questions you have. It’s a professional environment, but also a more comfortable way to approach a business and ask about job and internship opportunities. Career Services also offers different preparation programs that will help prepare you for the Expo so you can be at the top of your game to score a job or internship.
Another way Career Services can help you prepare for such situations is by coming into our office and setting up an individual appointment with an advisor. By doing this you can have your advisor help you go over your resume, cover letter, and even ask interview questions. Career Services has a great program called the Perfect Interview where you can set up a mock interview to help you familiarize yourself with the interview process. Look for our flyers and calendars to see upcoming event information. It is never too late to prepare for your future, and Career Services can help!
