Job fairs connect willing and wanting
By DAVID CLEMENT
Contributing Writer
The University’s Office of Career
Planning and Placement will
sponsor the first annual "Career
Connections 1989." InBtead of pie
r-meal Career Days once a month,
a week long program has been de
signed to familiarize students with
the opportunities and challenges
that lie ahead of them in the job
market.
Lynn Hogan, Student Affairs ad
visor, said the program has been
developed to get ‘underclassmen
excited about the job search. (We
want) to instill the importance of
planning ahead” for the students'
irst jobs.
The week’s activities will include
two kinds of job fairs that will re
cruit the resources of nearly 100
imsinesseB. There will also be ca
reer-related workshops to help stu
dents better prepare themselves in
their first job searches.
All events are free and open to
the public.
To begin the activities, the an
nual Seasonal Jobs Fair will be
held Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. at the Tate Student Center
Georgia Hall.
The fair ofTers students the
chance to sample a variety of sea
sonal, part-time, co-op, and inter
nship positions with about 30
businesses in areas like banking,
retail, parks and recreation and
restaurants, Hogan said.
The Career Fair will be held
April 26 in the Coliseum from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. About 60 recruiters
from businesses of all kinds will set
up displays with information about
the nature of their employment op
portunities.
Some businesses will be avail
able for interviews. Hogan said
business participants are encour
aged to conduct interviews. How
ever, students must inquire of
businesses individually as to
whether they are conducting inter
views.
Even if rtudents cannot obtain
interviews, Chrisse Jones, a first
year graduate student in Public
Relations and a publicity com
mittee member, said students
would benefit by participation.
"You should try to make contacts
with recruiters for interviews at a
future time,” she said.
Workshops will be conducted by
some participating businesses cov
ering such topics as resume
writing, interviewing techniques
and how best to make the tran
sition from college to the business
world. Schedules for the workshops
will be available on Thursday at ta
bles advertising for the event in
the Tate Center, Hogan said.
A ‘Dress for Success’ fashion
show will be held in Georgia Hall
on next Monday at 8 p.m.
Sandi Kleinstub, a senior public
relations major and co-chair of the
publicity committee, said students
should be “optimistic” about the
week’s activities.
She thinks students should be
open-minded as they participate.
“You shouldn’t go with just one
career in mind. It’s a g<x>d opportu
nity to research other areas that
interest you."
Career Week will not be exclu
sively devoted to students. For the
first time, some businesses will
meet with faculty and administra
tion members to discusB the needs
of the business community.
Hogan said this feature was
added to the program in order to
encourage an “increased interest of
fficulty members and to keep them
abreast of employers’ needs."
Lockheed ships last
C-5B planes to USAF
The Associated Press
MARIETTA - The final C5-B
Galaxy, a giant aircraft that can
carry almost anything but man
aged to pick up a lot of political
baggage, flew ofT Monday to its
military assignment from Lock
heed Aeronautical Systems Co.
With its salute lap around
Lockheed headquarters in sub
urban Marietta, the C-5B
marked the end of a 50-plane,
$6.9 billion contract held up by
critics as an example of congres
sional greed
But pilots often praised the
big plane, which is the largest
air cargo carrier in the non-com
munist world.
The jet, an updated version of
the C-5A, can carry almost any
piece of the Army's combat
equipment, including a pair of
100,000-pound M-l tanks To il
lustrate the plane’s enormity to
civilians, company officials like
to say it can carry six buses
After a ceremony Monday,
the last C-5B lumbered ofT to
Dover Air Force Base in Dover,
Del , with Gen. Duane Cassidy
at the controls. Cassidy is com
mander-in-chief of the Military
Aircraft Command at Scott Air
Force Base in Illinois.
