As the end of the fall semester quickly approaches, students begin to
line up potential summer jobs. For seniors, however, the search is not
a summer job, it is for a career.
A "Senior Survey," distributed to a random number of USC seniors,
found out exactly what USC seniors are planning to do after graduation.
Results show that only 80 percent of those surveyed will be graduating |
this May. Of the 20 percent who plan to graduate, only about half have a ^
definite job lined up after graduation.
But for those who don't have a job yet, don't despair. Help is available
to job-seeking students through the University Career Center's USC
Placement Center.
The Placement Center offers a variety of services aimed at helping the
graduating student. m
One such service is the On-Campus Recruiting Program, in which employers
come to campus to interview students for jobs. Students are eligi-\l;
ble to participate in this program as soon as they have completed 90
semester hours (or are within two semesters of graduation). The only
requirement is to attend a placement orientation to become acquainted
with the services and processes offered.
The center will begin accepting resumes from students on Nov. 4 for
the spring semester to distribute to some employers. The remaining schedule
for the 45-minute placement orientations for the fall semester are
Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. and Nov. 12 at 11 a.m. If students are unable to attend
either of these, placement orientation videos are also available.
Another service offered to job hunters is USC Search, a resume referral
service used by local and regional employers who have immediate job
openings. The national service similar to this is KINexus, a national data
base.
Finally, other services include workshops on resume writing, job

cused on their career goals, because it is necessary to convince their potential
employer they are the one for the job.
,* "We encourage them not to rely just on one service, but to network,"
Lyles said. "They should research the company, know its products and
services .so that they can talk intelligently in the interview. Have a good
resume, and know the trends in your particular field. Be realistic about
x* salary expectations, be more open-minded about geographic locations
and be Creative."
