With less than a month until graduation,
seniors continue to search out job prospects. In a recent interview, Director of
Student Success Leslie Glover described how Milligan's career services center
may be able to help:
Q: For seniors graduating in May, is it too late to utilize the college's
career services?
A: No, it's not too late, but time is of essence. Some seniors will take
a break right after graduation and then focus on the next step. Some started the
process earlier in terms of finding employment or completing graduate school
applications and now just waiting until May 9 to graduate.
Q: What services can the career center offer seniors at this point?
A: Employment searches, grad school options, on-line career searches, resume
assistance and the latest information on where the jobs are and who's hiring.
Q: What steps should students take who want to utilize these services?
A: Stop by and complete a registration card (Upper SUB - Monday - Friday during
regular hours). Tuesday evenings the Center is open to 7 p.m.
Q: What outside resources are good for seniors to look into?
A: Monster, CareerBuilder.com, Jobs.com, MSN Career Center, just to name a few
Q: Can you tell me a little more about the career fair that is going on
this Thursday?
A: 16th Annual Career Fair, coordinated by Interstate Career Council (21
sponsoring colleges from TN, NC, VA. WV and WCYB-TV 5); When: Thursday, April 15
from 12 noon - 5 pm; Bristol, VA (Exit 7) - Holiday Inn. Résumé and reference
