Students seeking a job should also have good interviewing skills. The interview is the time when a person can market him or herself to the employer. During an interview, a potential employer can tell if a person is confident or not. Students also need to establish a list of 10 to15 people to contact during their job search. Contacts can be family members, friends, neighbors, career counselors in the CDC, people in religious organizations and Berry alumni.
Students can also establish contacts through career fairs.
At career fairs, employers share information about their companies and career opportunities. Career fairs allow students to see what is available in the job market and to get their resume out to companies in which they have an interest. A local Career Opportunity Fair will be held on Nov. 10 at the Cobb Galleria Center from noon to 3 p.m. The CDC also offers several programs that are beneficial to all students, not just seniors. Senior Orientation offers a way to find out more about what to do during your senior year in one easy session. Two more sessions are left this semester.
