“Bronco BHs”
The Office of Development and
University Relations recently published
its first in-house newsletter entitled
“Bronco Bits”. The newsletter will
serve as a “vehicle for disseminating
information of interest to the Univer
sity Family.”
The first issue contained items
ranging from commencement to the
“Little Miss FSU” pageant.
The Development Office welcomes
any items of interest and solicits the
readers’ cooperation in making
“Bronco Bits” a permanent part of its
continuing efforts to keep its readers
informed.
Employment
Tips
Graduates who will be interviewing
for their first professional job this
spring will find that there is both good
news and bad news in the job market.
The bad news; the competition is stif-
fer than ever. Why? The number of
degree holders is increasing while the
number of jobs requiring a high level
of education hasn’t kept pace.
This year almost a million college
seniors, 300,000 master’s degree
holders and 35,000 law school
graduates will be looking for work, ac
cording to the National Center for
Education Statistics. The Department
of labor Statistics predicts that one in
four college graduates will have to ac
cept a job that has traditionally been
filled by someone without a degree.
The good news is that no matter how
bad the odds, there are always
satisfying jobs to be had if students
know how to go about getting them,
says Peggy J. Schmidt, author of
Making It On Your First Job: When
You’re Young, Inexperienced and
Ambitious, (an April release from
Avon Books, price-$2.95). Ms. Sch
midt interviewed over one hundred ex
perts across the country including em
ployers, personnel directors, recruiters,
college placement directors and suc
cessful young professionals for their
advice. Their suggestions on the most
effective ways to prepare for, find and
cope with a first job include:
- Don’t limit your job search to one
or two strategies. A combination of
approaches-interviewing with on-
campus recruiters, responding to help-
wanted ads, getting in touch with per
sonnel offices-will increase your chan
ces. The best way to locate “plum” job
openings is to ask friends, relatives and
alumni for the names of contacts at
your top-choice companies.
- Even if the butterflies are
divebombing against your stomach
lining and your antiperspirant is out to
lunch, act self-confidently when you
meet your interviewer. Whether you’re
hired or invited back for a second in
terview is often determined in the first
five minutes of an interview.
- Don’t take rejections personally.
With few exceptions, even the most
successful people have collected their
share of turndowns, which only made
them more determined to get what they
wanted.
- Be prepared for status shock once
you begin working. No matter how
impressive your college record, you
will have to prove yourself to your boss
and co-workers to win their acceptance
and respect.
- Put your fantasies about being the
next Jane Pauley, Bob Woodward or
Gary Hart on hold. It takes years to
develop the self-confidence, savvy and
skills to really move ahead. In the
meantime, take on those dues-paying
responsibilities with enthusiasm so that
you’ll be given more challenging
assignments.—from Avon
