RSAs during Mayfest

Residents of Haven, Walnut and Washington Arms:

This is a notice to inform you that there will be RSAs (the people with the red shirts who check your ID in the evening) during the time period prior and following Mayfest on Friday, April 30th. Their presence is simply a precaution to ensure the sanctity of your home during this festive time.

Thus, take extra care to make sure to have your SUID with you on April 30 as you will need it to get past the RSA (just like in the evening).

If you have any questions, please email Bill the RD at wmwalsh@syr.edu

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.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

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?

Project Baraka

Want to give to a good cause? Live in the Boston area and looking to get involved with a good cause after school lets out (or even now)?

Check out Project Baraka, a non profit organization started by students that seeks to "sponsor deprived yet bright girls who would benefit from an academically stimulating environment and who have the capacity to make a difference in their home societies as a result of their education."

You can also see their video here.
