Summer jobs
continued from page 1
Mulligan advises those who
come in looking for work to attend
one of the employment office’s
workshops on how to get a job or
create a resume.
Resume writing, in particular, is
an important skill in obtaining a job,
she added.
"If you turn a resume in and it
doesn't get an employer’s atten
tion,’’ she said, “you’re not going to
get an interview.”
“Ifyou turn a resume in and
it doesn’t get an employer’s
attention, you’re not going
to get an interview.”

While it’s probably not what most
students in the midst of employment
woes want to hear right now, their
troubles probably could have been
avoided if they had made job hunting
a priority earlier, said Joyce May, who
manages the University Career Cen
ter’s online job database.
As early as January, May said, she
began posting summer job openings
online. And at one time, there were
about 2,700 positions open. Based on
feedback she has received from em
ployers, however, she said few stu
dents responded to those postings.
“We have resources available,”
she said. “But I don’t think they
were being utilized. ”
Students who are still looking do
have options, she added. Right now,
she said, the jobs posted on the Ca
reer Center Web site include open
ings for firefighters and members of
the Northwest Youth Corps, as well
as various retail, food service and
temporary positions.
“There’s still jobs available,” she
said.
