PACK REG. $4.50 SALE $2.49 Student needs given first priority by University placement service “We are oriented to the needs of students,” says June Wyant, information specialist at the Career Planning and Placement Service (CPPS). “For prac ticality, we try to show students how they can build on the skills they have learned.” The career center located on the second floor of the Susan Campbell building houses a variety of services for the University student, and has since September 1972. Wyant explained that CPPS holds weekly resume writing workshops which are held every Monday at 9:30 a.m. The workshop shows a prospective student how to write a resume, cover sheet, and do’s and don’ts for letters. “Some recruiters don’t insist on resumes, but the center likes students to use them, because it is more professional,” stressed Syant. Another section of the CPPS is Job Search. This part of the center enables a student to find information on how to apply for jobs, sources of job information, but does not guarantee the student getting a particular job. Carol Hendricks, University doctoral student in psychology teaches a workshop entitled Job Interview. The workshop is a kind of cookbook recipe on how to appear for an interview. The student is video-taped and the tape is replayed enabling the student to see how he or she looks. “Fidgeting sometimes blocks out the aggressive behavior of a potential em ployee,” said Wyant, “and we want the student to show self confidence, and have a positive attitude about themselves.” Career development is another service which goes out to sororities, fraternities and dorms, presenting informal job, and career programs. Theresa Ripley teaches a career alter natives class which helps students use the skills they have in planning careers. Students not satisfied with the college program may decide to go into the career field before finishing four or more years at college. Outreach is a sector of CPPS which funnels requests from University groups wishing in formation in some career area. For instance, last year a University sociology class requested information on how to present themselves in the social work field. The center aided them with the needed information. The counselors which aid students at CPPS, in addition to Ripley and Wyant, are Ulysses Whitehead, athletics; Sandy Heines, education; and Don McCartney, director of the program. Another aspect of CPPS is the credential file preparation which is data collected on students, and which is open for students to discuss with a counselor.

Divine coor dinates recruiting visits of companies and industries to the University. Students can sign up for recruit visits at the center. Wyant stressed that in the business world there is a need for people who like to work with their hands or with materials. The business world is lacking mechanics and technicians in all fields, according to Wyant. The CPPS has a career in formation center where pam phlets and booklets can be found on industries, companies, and general information. The center also has a career computer which it hopes to install in the EMU in the near future when construction is completed. In this way, the computer will be open for all to use, added Wyant. “We hope students are aware of our existence,” said Wyant. “Students should come to the center for planning and recommendations in their sophomore or junior year.” The center is very open, informal and a good way to gather information and ideas for planning careers, concluded Wyant.
