I'm
graduating. How do I start to look for a job? First
of all, Congratulations! Student Employment & Career Services
is a great place to begin your job search. We have the staff
and the resources to help you formulate a job search plan
that is just right for you. SE&CS offers workshops for
job seekers including: Writing a Résumé and Cover Letter,
Job Search, Interview Skills, and Portfolios. SE&CS can
help you target your job search and suggest resources, contacts,
mock interviews or special events, such as the fall or
spring
job fairs, allied health job fair and the annual Career
Tactics Workshops, that will support your career and job search goals. We
will also critique your résumé and cover letters. We strongly urge you to
register with e-Recruiting in order to view job postings, participate in
on-campus interviews, and publish your résumé to make it available
on the web résumé book for employers to view.

e-Recruiting

is an exciting, innovative automated system, which has the
capability of matching students with a wide variety of employment
opportunities in a fast, efficient manner. FSU students/alumni

How
do I find out what employers will be interviewing on-campus
for internships or full-time positions and how do I participate? Employers
conduct on-campus interviews during the fall and spring semesters.
An on-campus recruiting schedule is maintained on e-Recruiting.
All students seeking internships or full-time positions are
invited to participate, however, students must be registered
in e-Recruiting to view on-line information about participating
organizations, to select employers to interview with and to
sign up for interviews.

also maintains an
on-line posting site for positions on campus or
in the local community. Did you know

link. Areas that frequently hire students include Dining Services,
Residential Life, FLITE (Library), Bookstore, various computer

Do
you offer tests that will help me identify the career I should
pursue? Yes.
SE&CS provides
FOCUS, a self-guided web-based product, to all FSU
students. The Educational and Career Counseling Center, STR
313, x 3057, offers the Strong Interest Inventory and
Myers Briggs Type Indicator administered by an educational
counselor who can interpret the assessment inventories, which

I
am undecided about my major. Where can I get help? FSU
provides the Career Exploration Program, offered by
the department of Developmental Programs & Curriculum,
ASC 1037, x 2807, for students who are uncertain of their
future program of study. While earning credits toward general
education requirements, students become aware of the career
development and decision-making process; explore personal
values, interests, experiences and skills; identify educational
and employment opportunities that match desired career objectives;
and acquire skills to seek a job.
