nolly expects to leave due to the state's lack of
jobs in his field.
“There aren't very many jobs in the Nor
thwest. Most of the jobs are in California and
back East," he says.
Connolly looks to companies including Boe
ing, Techtronics and the Lawrence-Livermore
Labs as prospective employers.
"I'd like to get a job working in the labs in
experimental physics," he says. According to
Connolly, an entry-level job at Lawrence
Livermore begins at around $40,000.
He admits he hasn't checked out the job
market yet, but doesn't appear worried about
pinning something down.
"If I get a half a dozen job offers, I'll be
pretty happy," Connolly says.
Advertising major Dave Kosse, who will be
in Denver next month competing in a national
advertising campaign contest, already has a job
waiting for him. He will be working in New York
City with the world's fourth largest advertising
agency, Oglivy and Mather.
Like Schrader, Kosse sent out resumes and
had the luxury of choosing from multiple offers
before making his final decision. He, too, sees
his education at the University as a plus in his
job search.
"I couldn't have got anything better," Kosse
says. "All the way through they were impressed
with my advertising knowledge which is due to
the education provided here."
Kosse isn't the only one to make good from
the advertising department. “There's lots of peo
ple there having success," he says.
*AU the way through they
were impressed with my adver
tising knowledge which is due

Service and help with a smile —
at the career planning center
By Costas Christ
Of the Emerald
For nearly a century they have been help
ing students secure jobs and plan their
educations. Today, the University's Career
Planning and Placement Service is considered
one of the best around.
"We get some good feedback from other
universities and colleges who would like to
set up a career placement program similar to
ours," says Larry Smith, director of the
Career Placement and Planning Service.
And according to Smith, the Career Plan
ning and Placement Service offers students a
lot.
One program, the Career Assessment Pro
gram, is designed to assist students in deter
mining what their strongest interests are and
then finding out what career opportunities
exist in that field of interest, Smith says.
Students first attend an orientation ses
sion where they meet with career counselors
and attempt to define their interests,
skills,and abilities.
The next step takes place at the Universi
ty Testing Office, where students take three
interest inventory tests. These are then
evaluated by a career counselor who meets
with the student and explains the results.
In the final stage the student ends up
with a clear idea of their strongest interests, a
choice of jobs that reflect those interests, and
some suggestions on how to get hired.
"Considering that the majority of
students who enter the University at the
undergraduate level have undeclared majors.
the Career Assessment Program can help
them define their interests and prepare for a
career," Smith says.
It the cost of the Career Assessment Pro
gram is too high ($25 for students and $45 for
non students), there are other programs at
the Career Planning and Placement Service
which cost nothing at all and have some
great benifits, Smith says.
The purpose of the Focus Your Education
program is to help students meet both their
career objectives and educational objectives
while at the University.
"There is a lot of uncertainty going on
with students over what classes to take to get
them what they want. We can help them to
decide in the Focus Your Education pro
gram," Smith says.
Other programs and resources include
the Career Development Intern Program,
Placement Seminars, the Campus Interview
Program, Placement File Activity, Career Im
formation Library and the Parent and Alumni
Resource File.
"One of the assumptions about our of
fice," Smith says, "is that we only work with
business majors. This is not true. What we try
to do is work with students from as wide a
spectrum of career interests as possible.
"Although approximately 28,000 people
come through our doors annually, we would
like to see more students make use of our
services. In so doing we feel that we can help
students make better use of what the Univer
sity has to offer them," Smith says.
