Job counseling eases
By Jeri Rowe
A disconcerted senior sits tugging at his
newly pressed suit while wringing his
sweating hands outside one of his many
interviews.
A naive feshman wanders aimlessly
through her first year wondering what
she'll be doing in her college years other
than taking required courses to fulfill her
major. fZ

Center offers information to all students
who are confused about what direction to
take in their four years of college.
"Our main objective is to acquaint
students with what the world of work is
really lik , ' said Professor Larry Sailers,
director of career planning.
Salters said the center is divided into
four divisions, the Placement Office,
Career Planning Office, Student Employment
and cooperative Education, and
Alumni Career Counseling, which gives
students a chance to investigate careers
they might want to pursue.
"WE TRY to open (students' eyes) to
the pitfalls that they might run into in the
working world," Salters said.
For seniors graduating within the next
year, Salters said the placement office offers
on-campus recruitment for students
to "hook up" with future employers.

To prepare seniors for this, the placement
office offers classes each week on
finding a career objective, writing a
resume, finding a job and refining interviewing
techniques.
"These classes help each student gain
needed skills to help cross this difficult
bridge of finding a job after graduation,"
said Lori Miles, a senior office administrative
major who is taking part in
these classes.
i 1 LEK KATZ, a senior
accounting major,
echoes these thoughts.
?4 "All you have to do is
p|| j sign up and concentrate
on your resume
and companies come to
^ H^r see vou." he said.
a jura Salters said taking
advantage of these
_ ^ _ classes can give these
r SOUTH CAROLINA seniors (farn good
edge" on finding their
niche in the job market.
Starting Oct. 4, the Career Center will v
also give graduating seniors a chance to v
register for Job Search Clubs, which help i
them identify marketable skills, develop ?
an effective resume and improve interviewing
skill among others.
With several hundred national and x
local companies coming to recruit
graduating seniors each year, Salters said
these opportunities cure the "procrastina
tion disease that many seniors contract
during their last year.
SALTERS STRESSED that lor a
senior to interview with these companies,
they must attend several orientation sessions
and register with the Placement Office
by filling out a standardized
biographical form used by all companies.
These forms are then placed in an open J
file for local companies and for future \
screening purposes used by national companies
to recruit employees.
