HighlightsMonday- Basic Résumé and Cover Letter Writing Tuesday- Job Hunt Marathon Bridget will be doing Quick Counsel this week for any student who is NOT applying for the Communication Consortium and Winter Olympics. Please tell all CC and WO students to take advantage of our walk-in hours this week. Walk-in Hours For Who: Students applying for the Communications Consortium AND Winter Olympic internships ONLY!* *Students must have attended the résumé & cover letter seminar, completed GRA 217 or watched the video FIRST. If they arrive for walk-ins, please set them up to watch the video. When: Wed, Feb. 27th 10-12pm AND 2-4pm Thurs, Feb. 28th 10-12pm AND 2-4pm Fri, Feb. Mar. 1st 10-12pm AND 2-4pm Please inform students to bring hard copies of their materials with them. Office Updates Last week, many students brought their laptops to their appointments to show counselors their résumé and cover letters. So, we had each student print out their materials during their appointments putting us behind schedule. LOL. I couldn't resist. :) So I'd like you to help us do the following: -Remind students to bring hard copies to their appointment while you are scheduling their appointment. -Inform students they can print out their materials in the CDC if they arrive 10 minutes early. I've also updated our appointment reminder email with the following: "Please bring hard copies of your résumé, cover letter or networking email with you to your appointment so that our counselors can write their feedback on it. Please do not use your laptop to show our counselors your materials." Timesheets Please email me your timesheets individually with "Timesheet" in the subject line. These emails are filtered to my timesheet folder. Also, please note any additional hours added to your timesheet in your email. That way, if budget asks for clarification, I can send them an explaination. Thanks! :) Common QuestionMy answers are guidelines. You're welcome to reword to your liking, but please emphasize the same points. The first 2 questions are related to this week.
Q: "I'm really nervous about applying to the Communications Consortium and/or Winter Olympics. May I schedule an appointment?" A: "We actually have walk-in hours this week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10-12pm and 2-4pm. Simply stop by and sign in and a counselor will call your name to review your materials and give you feedback." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: "I'm not applying for the Communications Consortium or the Winter Olympics. What do you mean you don't have any available appointment hours this week!?!" A: "I'm sorry we don't have any available timeslots for you. Students typically come in a week before to schedule appointments in advance. I recommend stopping by for our Quick Counsel this Friday from 12-1pm. This week we will not be offering drop box services due to the high volume of materials we need to review this week." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: (Question via email) "I'm studying abroad and I'd like some feedback on my résumé and cover letter." This student does not meet our prerequisites. A: (Send the following email template which can be found in our Generic Answers folder under the Seminars/Appointments subfolder. This email is ONLY for students studying abroad. Do not email this video link to students on campus. We want them to come to our office :). CCS referrals still apply to non-Newhouse students requesting career counseling.) Subject: Study abroad student requesting feedback on résumé and cover letter Hello, Thank you for your email. We're happy to give you feedback, but first we ask that you watch our short video on how to create an effective résumé and cover letter here: http://bit.ly/cdcresumecoverlettervideo After you watch the 25 minute video, please make the necessary changes to your materials according to our video’s instructions. Please email us when you're ready to schedule a phone appointment to receive feedback. If you're not available to speak over the phone, you may also email us your materials for review. We'll print it for our dropbox service and will email you your materials with our feedback in 2 business days. If you have any questions, please let me know.
