r April 23,2003 Seniors page 9 Graduating Athletic Seniors Harry Fields, IV, graduating senior -photo by Cortney Chatman- Graduating Athletic Seniors -by Rebekah Phillipi, staff writer- ^\s we all know, the year is rapidly coming to an end, and some seniors may be just a little too anxious to leave and start there life in die real world. While others feel as if there athletic career here at Brevard has gone too fast. They may feel like they are not ready to see what the future holds for them not only in there personal lives, but their athletic lives as well. Shannon Davis, basketball player, has her own ideas about how she feels about her time here at Brevard. She is an Integrated Studies major, with an emphasis on Social Psychology and is a minor in Criminal Justice. She has no plans to carry out her athletic ca reer in the real world, but she does have plans to work for a couple of years in the mental health field after graduating. She also plans to attend graduate school. Davis seems to have mixed emotions about her sports ori ented life. “It’s an incredible experi ence to participate in sports, on the other hand, it is quite difficult because it is so time consuming.” Senior, Will Gibbs is an Exercise Science major and his plans after graduating this year are to start coach ing and teaching kids. Gibbs thinks that this year as far as basketball goes, has been toug^ and didn’t end up as well as he planned. As you can see the views vary about how they feel about graduat ing; what their plans may be and what they plan to do with their life. One can certainly understand this. We should all support them in any of the decisions they will be facing in the near future. Thank you to all the seniors that put forth time, effort commitment, dedication, hard work, and personal sacrifice for the sports teams here at Brevard. This is truly appreciated and greariy admired among the rest of the student body. Good luck and we wish you well.

In addition to list ing your job duties, your resume should include a summary of your ac complishments. For instance, manag ing a local retail store is great, but managing a local retail store that sur passed monthly sales goals is even betteH Don’t forget diat your activi ties in college clubs and other organi zations count as expenence, too. Add ing to a club’s coffers with an effec tive membership drive show your ini tiative and organizational skills. The point is to demonstrate your past suc cesses. Don’t Be a Pack Rat with Words Toss out those extra words cluttering up your resume. Wherever possible, avoid using complete sentences. Bulleted phrases often impart a greater impact and make your resume easier to read. For a hiring manager who receives hundreds of resumes each day, resumes that are clear and brief can make all the difference. Don’t Sweep Gaps Under the Rug If your work history contains gaps in employment, don’t simply sweep diem under the rug and off your re sume in the hope that no one will notice. If you took a break from the workforce, offer a brief explanation in your cover letter or in a short sec tion your resume. If you took a class or got extra training during this time, make a point of saying so - but never lie, about diis or anything else on your resume. Minding the “gap” issue will prevent potential awkwardness should an employer inspect underneath that rug!
