Open Windows = Slamming Doors


Some have expressed concern for the seemingly sharp increase as of late of slamming doors. This is most likely due to people keeping their windows open and the differences in air pressure causing the doors to slam.

SO, please be conscious of this and close your door slowly.
Just because the wind may make your door slam doesn't mean you should let it.

How to become an attractive job candidate


The SU Student Association will hold an open forum on positioning yourself for jobs in the 21st century.

Representatives from SU Career Services will be there to answer questions, give advice and show students how to become attractive job candidates.

The forum will be held Thursday,
April 15, at 6 p.m. in Watson Theatre.



Come to hear answers to these questions:


- Forbes magazine came out with an article "Worst Jobs of the 21st Century" which included news reporters, economists, radio announcers, travel agents and even federal employees. What if I want to go into these careers? What can I do to set myself apart? What is a journalist to do about this? Is the media industry dying?


- Should I just work an average summer job at a drive-thru to earn money and not shoot for an internship?


- How can I establish a Web presence? Aren't employers looking at more than the resume and cover letter now?

- What are the most important things to include on a resume? Should it be education (SU is a good school, right?) or should it be experiences?


- What if my resume is thin on experiences? What should I do?


- I still don't know exactly what career I want. Where should I apply for a summer job/ internship?

- What are the fastest growing or most stable industries in the next 5 to 10 years?


- What will make an ideal candidate for jobs in the future?


- I heard the average person changes jobs at least five times in their first five years of work. How can I find a stable job that pays well out of college?


- I'm thinking about grad school, but I also have an eye on cost. Should I take on more debt to go to grad school or pay off my debt with a job right out of undergrad? Don't most people who go into the workplace not go back to school?
