Placement center offers
student dareer answers
by Tom Brisson
At a time when students are often
unclear about plans after graduation,
the CSUF Career Planning and Place¬
ment Center offers some of the answers.
"We are really here to help 'out stu¬
dents in exploring the options they have,
in terms of their own interests and
abilities, in finding a career after col¬
lege," said Dr. Harold D. Jones, director
of the center. Jones has been at CSUF
fot 22 years.
Jones said that the center offers such
services as full-time career placement,
educational placement to assist teachers
and other individuals in finding jobs at
various levels of education, and career
planning designed to help students make
career choices before graduation.
The center also hejps students find
summer and part-time employment
during the regular school year, and, for a
slight fee, helps graduates find jobs after
military service or find better jobs.
"We offer a fairly extensive career
information resource center as well as
helping students explore career opportu¬
nities through work experience and
summer internships," Jones said.
The center arranges on-campus inter¬
views for students with company repre¬
sentatives from a number of different
fields especially relating to technical
areas.
. "Professional areas such as engineer¬
ing, agriculture, business, and account¬
ing seem to be very high right now in
terms of job opportunities," Jones said.
"We're handling about 100 percent of
the graduating engineering students."
"We also work with some students in
liberal arts, though a much smaller
number," Jones said.
Jones said that incoming students will
often not remember hearing, about the
center at beginning-of-the-year orienta¬
tions, and that no figures are available
for the percentage of the students on
campus who have used the center. He
said that the office makes approximately
10,000 contacts a year with students,
but these constitute repeated visits.
Students who are looking for jobs
after graduation should get in touch with
the register with the center before that,
Jones said.
"They should get in touch with us at
the beginning of their senior year or
at least by the beginning of their final
semester," he said. 'If they don't
contact us by March, they're not really
giving us a chance to do what we can."
The center also offers seminars each
week on topics such as resume prepara¬
tion. Times and places for the seminars
are posted in the center which is located
in room 266 of the Joyal Bldg. on
campus.
