It feels so good to return for one more quarter as your campus blogger! I have so much to talk about. First off, I would like to state, that I now work at the Career Center as a Career Peer Advisor on campus. For those of you not familiar with this resource, together with other CPA's, I review important job documents such as resumes, and cover letters and by working with the student we improve on the formatting and content of the papers. We also provide students with practice interview sessions, in order for students to prepare for that always daunting job interview. We are located in the Library annex and you can schedule an appointment by going onto our website at http://www.bothell.washington.edu/careers/. So I ENCOURAGE all of you TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY!
Did I mention that the CAREER AND INTERNSHIP IS THIS THURSDAY, April 17th. We will have two sesssions, one from 10:30-1:30 and another from 3:30-6:30.
It is located at the Northcreek Events Center. We will be featuring major employers, such as Boeing, GEICO, Verizon Wireless etc. For a complete list of all the employers that will be joining us tomorrow please go to the career center website at http://www.uwb.edu/careers/ and click on the Career Fair logo. This is a great opportunity to introduce yourself to company recruiters and even get hooked up for a job or internship this summer. Please dress business casual for the event. I'm already excited just thinking about this event and I expect to see all of you there!
By this time I am now fully acclimated to the daily grind of this quarter. I must add, that this quarter has been different for me due to the evening classes I am taking (my latest class doesn't end until 10pm). But I have found that I enjoy having courses later in the day because I have a longer period of uninterrupted time in order to get things done. My economics classes have become rather challenging and the course load for my law class as been extremely insightful yet intricate. If you are experiencing similar situations I encourage you to email me as I'm curious to learn how other students fare on campus.
Well I think that about wraps it up for me this week. I highly recommend that you go the CAREER FAIR even if it is for a brief period. Perhaps, you could pop in for about 30 minutes in the first session and then another 30 minutes for the second session. Either way, it is a tremendous plus that can have the potential to affect your future!
