[Baynet] Professional Development Opportunity! Volunteer for SJSUSLIS Career Event

[Penny Scott]

        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, November 14, 
        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

        . 
 
 
Thank you,
