The Career Services Center offers special workshops during both a Pre-Career Week and Career Week for Spring Semester.
Pre-Career Week runs from Tuesday, February 22 through Friday, February 25. Networking, resume writing and working the career fair effectively are some of the topics that will be covered that week. Walk-in resume critiques will be available on Friday, February 25 from 10:am-2:30pm in RW 280.
The 6th Annual Etiquette Dinner will be held on Thursday February 24 from 5:00pm – 8:00pm in the SC Ballroom. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the Career Services Center at 216.687.2233.
Spring Career Week runs from Monday, February 28 through Friday, March 4. We will have several employers presenting workshops from places like the FBI, and Karpinski Engineering. Why not do a mock interview with a real employer? Sherwin Williams will once again be sending recruiters to the Career Services Center to help students sharpen their interview skills. Appointments can be made through the CSUcareerline system soon.
Finally, the festivities culminate with the 32nd Annual Spring Career Fair on Friday, March 4 in the PE Building, from 9:00am to 2:00pm. Over 100 employers are expected. You can check the list by going to www.csucareerfair.com.

Dumb and Totally Avoidable Job Search Mistakes:
1. Using a goofy email address (“imaprincess”, “hotchik”, “cooldude”) on job search correspondence. This isn’t MySpace—this is your professional life.
2. Being unprepared for an interview. You wouldn’t blow off a final exam without studying, so why ruin your chances for a job by not rehearsing your answers to interview questions? Use a formal mock interview or just have a friend fire questions at you. Never go into an interview cold.
3. Sending resumes with spelling or grammatical errors. Some of these send recruiters into gales of laughter and your resume into the circular file. How would you feel if your resume had some of the following blunders on it:
• "good atttention to detail" (Oh really?)
• A gentleman had over 20 years experience as a warehouse manager but unfortunately spelled it whorehouse.
• “Participated in hunger strike for the Salivation Army.”
