Career Services Helps With Jobs BY KENYATI'A JUWINGS Staff Writer Usually, by this point in the semester, students have begun lo feel the money-crunch more than ever. Wilh Christmas right around the corner, the old adage “poor college student” generally describes them. Many students have chosen part- time jobs to remedy their financial woes, many others would like to do the same but don’t quite know where to start looking. On Winston-Salem Stale University's campus students can go lo the Career Services Center in the Student Affairs Building for help. The Career Services Center offers job placement to students with 30 or more semester hours and it offers job counseling lo all students who may be having problems with their present jobs. “About 160 to 170 students are placed in jobs each year through the job placement program," says Gregory Hairston, Career Services coordinator. “The placement rate is very high in regards to students who apply for the About 160 to 170 students are placed in jobs each year through the job placement program. jobs and actually get them, usually about 70 to 80 percent.” The program places students in a range of positions according lo experience but does require that the job not be over 20 hours per week. The program also does not place freshmen as a rule, but will gladly counsel anyone who needs job counseling services. Career Services is also responsible for many of the seminars and on campus interviews by local employers. Hairston suggests that all students attend these events as many of them may offer job opportunities or valuable information one could use in a job search whether it be now or in the future. Hairston says that the most important thing to remember, when considering a part time job, is that the job is only secondary and that your academics are your real reason for being here. “Be a good employee, but don’t pul the job before school.” Hairston can be contacted at 750- 3262 or on the Main Floor of the Student Affairs Building.
