Looking for a job?

I wish each of you a happy spring break! We're taking a break from the blog until you return, but here's some important information in the meantime:

I’m sure you are aware of the economy and may be apprehensive as you prepare to graduate and think of future plans. Please know that positions are still available, especially in certain sectors. As you think about your future over the break, please let me know if CAFNR Career Services can assist you. We are glad to help with brainstorming possible employers, preparing marketing tools like résumés and interview strategies, and launching an effective job search that includes networking with alumni and friends. If you have chosen to pursue graduate school, we also have materials to help with personal statements and are glad to offer a review of statements.

Following are a couple of clips about the current economy—and what you can do about it:
