Summer get-together

You asked for it!

You're getting it!

This summer, we'll make a date for a lollapalooza* of Q&A.

At this summer UExplore session, you are invited to participate in a panel discussion with Academic Affairs human resource managers. At this session, you can bring all the questions you haven't had answered yet, and these hiring authorities will share all their pearls of wisdom.

Don't know what I'm talking about?

Well, I'm thinking of questions I've heard, read, (and overheard) like:
1) What do I need to say in an interview to get the job?
2) When is it appropriate to break out my professional portfolio?
3) How do I make a great first impression?
4) What do I write in a "thank you" note?
5) How can I present myself as the best candidate for the job?
6) At what point in time can I negotiate salary?
7) Is it a good idea for me to send my resume and cover letter to the HR manager even before my application has been referred?
8) What are the prospects for my hire in this field?
9) What are the biggest "no-no's" in a job interview?
10) What can I ask in an interview to figure out if this is the right job and department for me?

More details to come....

Certificates of Completion

When you look in the mirror each morning, you know what you see?

I'll tell you what: a UExplorer!

And, next month, we'll be celebrating your completion of the UExplore program. Woo hoo!

UExplorers scheduled to receive their certificates of completion are those whose total pre-approved Program absences will not have exceeded two (2) by June 17, 2009.

For UExplorers with more than 2 pre-approved absences, you may receive your Certificate of Completion if you make-up the missed classes at next year's program.
