[Baynet] Professional Development Opportunity! Volunteer for SJSU SLIS Career Event

[pelopeach at yahoo.com]

Hi all,
 
 
The student group for San Jose State's SLIS, LISSTEN, along with the
Alumni Association is planning a Resume and Mock Interview Fair on the
San Jose campus for Saturday, April 25, from 1-5 PM. And we need help!
 
We are planning to have a group of panelists talk about job
hunting/resumes/interviews, and then will have students meet with resume
reviewers and mock interviewers.

We need folks to be resume reviewers, mock interviewers, and panelists.
You can do more than one thing if you want to!

For those interested in being a panelist, topics we would like covered
are tips and suggestions for library students applying for their first
job after school, including:  What to
 include in a cover letter and a
resume, and how to prepare for a job interview.  This would come from
your experience both as a job applicant and as a hiring librarian if you
have been one....what you look for and what to avoid.

Resume reviewers would meet with students who sign up and look over and
give tips for their resumes for about 15-20 minutes.

Mock interviewers would meet with students and do mock interviews with them.

Anyone interested? These events are generally fun, rewarding, and a
great addition to the CV! And there will be refreshments!

If you have an interest in participating or learning more, let me know
at: plscott at usfca.edu . 
 
 
Thank you,
 
Penny Scott
