" I bis is not the her all end
all,” said John Thomas, the
newly elected president of
the student senate "It is crit
ical that we place these is
sues on the University's
agenda as soon as possible
Some faculty members
said they were concerned
that they were being per
ceived ns apalhelii about Ihe
movement for increased eith
nir and cultural awareness
"The assumption that fac

wrong." said Urography Pro
fessor Hon Wixmun "Some
of you may Is- surprised thai

the civil rights movement of

"Hit' function of that department is to screen
out applicants and then send the ones who sur
vive that si running on upstairs' to tie interviewed
by the person who actually lias the power to
hire," Holies said "From the point of view of the
job-hunter or career-changer, this passage through
the hands of those departments can result in di
saster
According to a Spring 1902 spec ial Cosmopoli
tan issue- titled "Life After College," new gradu
ates should target small firms in their hunt
The magazine said such companies are more
approachable because they have fewer executive
levels to cut through.
One good directory of information about these
companies is Contacts Influential, which also
provides data on regional offices of larger firms.
Helpful magazines are Business Week, which
publishes a yearly list of the 1(X) fastest-growing
publicly held companies and Inc., u journal that
writes about the 500 most successful private com
panies
All three arc- available at the Knight Library.
Cosmopolitan also recommends typing a clas
sified ad and posting it in as many places as pos
sible. for example, parents' offices, a church bul
letin board or a community center
"Tell everyone that you're job hunting, rela
tives. teachers, friends, friends' parents, the fami
ly doctor and dentist (even strangers you encoun
ter in the waiting rooms)," wrote E. Bingo Wyer
in an article titled. "How to Find a Job When
'There Aren't Any' "
Wyer advised graduates to call the national
headquarters of their favorite businesses to find
out what seminars arc- planned in their area. At
the- meetings, hunters may be able to rneel their
fuiure employers.
Even though such seminars are often expen
sive-. some sponsors are willing to admit recent
graduates in return for a service. Wyer said. Wyer
Because of the recession,
qualifications and intelligence
alone aren’t enough to get a
good job anymore. But a
combination of hard work and
creativity will at least
increase job hunters’ chances.
said skills such us computer expertise can often
bo used as barter.
Howard Figier's book, The Complete lob
Sennit Handbook (Henry Holt and Company)
stresses the importance of job hunters acquiring
personal contacts, but not necessarily only those
in the hunters' fields.
Figler lists such people us policemen, bartend
ers, beauticians and cab drivers as potential
sources for job loads
"They are special people because they have
more knowledge of the citizenry than almost any
one else In town," he said
For example, Figler favors policemen because
they know "where the bank presidents are, where
the dope pushers hang out, and where the politi
cians can be found when the legislature is not in
session."
When talking to potential employers, Figler
said job hunters should proceed with caution
"Give the person reasons to be interested in
you.” he said "Don't pervert it by asking for too
much too quickly."
Most importantly. Figler urges job-hunters to
start early
You are most likely to regard the career search
as enjoyable and effective if you put the skills to
use many months before you have an urgent need
to change your employment or career direction."
he said.
