‘t r May 6,1981 THE VOICE Page 5 “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 News WFSS “JAZZ AWARENESS WEEK” SCHEDULE OF EVENTS (April 30 thru May 7,1981) Thursday, April 30 — Winston Salem State University Jazz Ensemble - Butler Theatre • FSU • 8:00 p.m. - 9:30 p .n.
