March on over to the workshops that will help you find a job
The end of the winter semester is
coming up quickly — have you
started on your summer job hunt or
the search for the perfect postgraduation
career?
Fanshawe's Career Services is putting on a number of workshops throughout March to help you out!
"(Students) should come (to the workshops) for added information, to get their questions answered, to feel more confident knowing that the information that they're marketing to employers is good, and to find out more about what Career Services can offer them while they're students," explained Liska Martindale-Dubrule, Student Services Specialist at Career Services. "I know especially with a lot of students graduating soon, I would highly suggest getting on top of their career search now. Even though it's only (March), it's very important to get that going in hopes that maybe once they graduate, they'll walk right into their career."
To register for the following workshops, head to Career Services in D1063 or call 519-452- 4294. For more information, check out the Events tab on MyFanshawe.
Resumes and Cover Letters
March 7, 6:30 to 8 p.m.
March 9, 10 to 11:30 a.m.
March 19, 2:30 to 4 p.m.
This workshop will help students create a polished and professional resume for any field of work and target resumes for a specific position. "Most people think that a resume is a one-size-fits-all (thing), when in reality, a resume will be somewhat unique to each person, and it will be altered for specific jobs they want to apply to," said Martindale-Dubrule. A resume and cover letter workshop will also be held for international students on March 16 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Register for that workshop at the International office in E2025.
Interview Skills
March 15, 10 to 11:30 a.m.
March 28, 2:30 to 4 p.m.
This workshop will help students prepare for a job interview, with tips on how to research a company beforehand and the kinds of questions to expect the interviewer to ask. Martindale-Dubrule said she hopes this workshop will help to ease the anxiety that many people have when entering into an interview.
Internet Job Search
March 13, 2:30 to 4 p.m.
March 21, 6:30 to 8 p.m.
March 28, 10 to 11:30 a.m.
This workshop will explain how Career Services can help on a job hunt, which websites to use and how to use them most effectively. "Work smarter, not harder on your job search," said Martindale- Dubrule. An Internet job search workshop will also be held for international students on March 23 from 2:30 to 4 p.m. Register for this workshop at the International office in E2025.
If you can't attend one (or any) of the workshops, Martindale- Dubrule said it's important to come see her. "I'll do one-on-one sessions with them, I will sit down with them and go through the information, even give them the handouts, as well with the resumes and cover letters to bring a copy in and have me review them. They can see me many times over." She also encouraged students who will be graduating this year to see the Career Consultant for their program to get industry-specific advice.
