IHE Updates, March 6

I haven't had much time to work on the blog the past few days, but here are some news briefs:


If you haven't checked the Career Services Department (CSD)'s Facebook page lately, you should know that job openings and job hunting hints are posted there often.  Today, CSD has this tidbit:
"Hey Guys, FILMED, A MEDICAL SUPPLY COMPANY, is hiring, one of the directors will be meeting with IHE grads next Thursday at 3 PM at the school location. Call Debra at 201 217 1113 to register your name and to update you resume for interviews."
Log into Facebook and search for IHE CSD to find their Facebook page.


While we're on the subject of job hunting, you can find out how I found my job at IHE by reading an interview with me at http://inalj.com/?p=2146.  Here is an excerpt:
"We all know it is a difficult, daunting time to look for work. Do not despair. Try every outlet you can think of. Network whenever you can. Be so focused on finding a job that you don’t have room in your brain to consider giving up. You will get upset at times. That is okay. Get frustrated, complain privately, but keep going. Stay as positive as you can, and if you can’t muster up any enthusiasm, pretend that you can when you write cover letters, network, and have job interviews."
 Attention IHE students:  You may notice that the IHE staff members other than your instructors (but including your librarian) will be visiting your classes more.  This is because we want to make certain that you get a full education at IHE, and that means we'll be giving you workshops on topics like financial fitness, job interviews, and computer literacy.  What other topics would you like us to address in our workshops?  You can comment below or make a suggestion to any IHE staff member.
