Nineteenth-century artist and philosopher John Ruskin wrote:
"In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed:
They must be fit for it.
They must not do too much of it.
And they must have a sense of success in it."
The goal of the Career Center is to provide students with comprehensive career services to help supplement their classroom experience, make wise vocational choices and assist in their search for employment.
In other words, we want students to "be fit"
for their careers, learn to balance their lives and be successful! Here are some of the ways the Career Center can help students:
Part-Time And Full-Time Job Listings - openings are posted on bulletin boards in the Williams Building, in the Main Building and on the web site: http://www.wncc.net/careercenter/
Career And Life-Style Exploration And Assessment - a personality and interest inventory are given and interpreted on an individual or group basis
Job Search Skills - organizing, networking and using resources to get the job you want
Resume And Cover Letter Writing Assistance – write them well, get the interview
Interviewing Techniques, including video taped practice interviews
Hands-On Internship/Cooperative Education and Service Learning Opportunities
The Career Center has a resource room full of excellent materials: computer programs, books, videos, etc., to help students discover "what they want to do with their lives"!
Carla Stein, Career Assistance and Internship Director is eager to assist all students on their career path. The Career Center is located in the Williams Building, Room 136, phone # (308) 635-6152.
Hours and days vary as the Director also serves the Sidney and Alliance sites.
