Job interviews 'Camping out' part of the game in getting on-campus interviews Some people will do anything to get a job. Even some people will do anything to get a job interview. Including sleeping all night on the cold, damp cement in front of the Joyal Administration Building at CSUF just to make sure they'll get on the sign-up list for on-campus interviews. Cindy Shaffer was one such student. Last semester, she and a friend ar¬ rived at school at midnight one Sunday, rolled out their sleeping bags, and camped out until the Career Placement Office opened its doors at 7:00 Monday morning. It was that important to her to get a guaranteed interview with a potential employer. And Shaffer that felt that way. By 3 a.m., she said, there were 10 other 'campers," and by 7:30, more than 75 people were lined up in front of the placement center's door...wah> ing. That's just to make sure you can get the interview,' Shaffer said. There's no guarantee you' II get the job.' Although the lines haven't gotten as long and the campers haven't arrived as early this semester as last, students are still pursuing those on-campus interviews, said CSUF Career Placement Counselor Carolyn Williams. -The problem is not as bad in the fall as it is in the spring,' Williams said. There are about the same number of employers that come to the campus for interviews each semester, but there — twice as many students that . J in the spring, so there is twice competition for the interviews. First day sign-ups for on-campus in¬ terviews are held every other Monday in the Upstairs Cafeteria, Room 202. Hours for sig.vups are 7-11:30 a.m. After sign-ups on Monday rooming, all other sign-ups are held In the Place¬ ment Offke In the Joyal Administra¬ tion Building on a first come, first serve basis. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Each interviewer will see approxi¬ mately 12 students, Williams said. -The appointment spots fill up very fast,* Williams said. 'Sometimes they'll fill up within the first day, sometimes within the first hour.' To help ease the competition for inter¬ view spots, the career placement office this semester began limiting the number of interviews one student can sign-up forto four on the first day. The procedure was established, Wil- quentiy, fewer students were able to be accommodated, she said. After the first day of sign-ups. Wil¬ liams said, students may come back to the Career Placement Office and schedule as many interviews as they de- Equus praised: 'an incredible play' Equus, as defined by 1 Dictionary, is a Latin word meaning But to Alan Strang, 'equus* is a term to describe a mental condition f ar deeper and bizarre. The CSUF production of 'Equus, which opened Thursday, first concerns itself with an investigation Into why 17-year-old Strang, played by Mike Mendonsa, ruthlessly stabs the eyes out of six horses. • . Before the play is over, the investiga¬ tion becomes secondary as the story of -just another mental patient' at an English psychiatric hospital evolves into a tour de force examination of the human mind. The psychiatrist who examines Strang is portrayed by Dan Farmer. The part's smugness at the beginning of the play disintegrates as his patient jolts him out of what he calls a -profesional meno¬ pause" into a soul searching journey that parallels Strang's.
