As we head into the Spring 2023 Semester, I want to share information about Student Employment Services and how we serve our students to help them persist in their studies and move toward their goals. Your partnership and referrals help us support them.
Job Search Support for Students:
Student Employment Specialists work on each campus to help students with resumes (polishing or writing them from scratch), interviewing skills, job search and networking strategies, and effective use of free resources such as Big Interview (an online interviewing tool the college provides) or our College Central Network Online Job Board. This online job board has 300+ jobs (on- and off-campus) just for MC students on any given day. These jobs range from student assistant positions, to non-career-related jobs that will build transferrable skills and help our students pay bills, to career-launching opportunities, to mid-level positions that require more experience.
Embedded Classroom Support:
Student Employment Specialists can also provide Embedded Classroom Support to students in the form of conducting in-person or virtual (zoom) workshops on a variety of topics, ranging from an Overview of Student Employment Office Services (which can be very brief) to full-class-period workshops on resume writing, interviewing, and other specific job search topics. These presentations must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance.
If you want a whole class to work with a Student Employment Specialist, please contact the appropriate person at least two weeks in advance to discuss the best strategies for this use of our services.
