The Career Development Center has been working on improving the services we provide to students. We know you share our concerns regarding students' career exploration and employment opportunities. In order to better inform students about these services we are offering the following class presentations:

Etiquette in the Workplace: This workshop will emphasize the importance of professionalism in the workplace and provide students with information and guidance on this topic. The workshop will focus on the unwritten rules of work behavior, correspondence, communication with supervisors, dining and telephone skills.

Internships 101: The Nuts and Bolts of Landing a Great Internship
Students and employers alike can mutually benefit from internship arrangements. In this workshop, students will learn about: what an internship is, the benefits of including an internship experience as part of their career exploration process, effective strategies for landing a great internship, and making the most of their selected internship.

Navigating the College Central Network Jobs Board
This class presentation will introduce students to our on-line Jobs Board (powered by College Central Network). Students will be shown how to register for the program, how to upload their resumes and how to search for jobs.

Resumania
This workshop helps students to develop and design a professional, marketable resume that will be well received by potential employers. This workshop will cover content and information about what employers are looking for in a resume.

How To Ace The Interview
This workshop teaches students the steps to follow before, during and after the interview to increase their chances of landing the job they want. It helps students to prepare a personal pitch, respond to challenging interview questions, and to know what questions they should expect as well as those they should ask potential employers.

How To Land A Job
This workshop provides students with the ins and outs of an effective job search. It teaches them how to utilize networking as a job search technique and how to identify the most successful job search strategies available.

Major Confusion
This workshop is designed to provide guidance to incoming students who are uncertain about which major to pursue. It provides them the opportunity to think about and clarify their values in order to provide a focus for academic, career, and life decisions. It will also aid students in exploring different major options here at Kingsborough.

Due to the increasing demand for workshops, we kindly ask that you request a maximum of 4 workshops per class. Requests for more than 4 workshops will be handled on an individual basis pending counselor availability. These presentations last approximately 40-50 minutes. Since the Navigating the Jobs Board workshop is computer-oriented, we will need to reserve a computer lab. As a result, please make your request at least one week before the date that you are requesting for the workshop. Please respond as soon as possible, using the sheet included to indicate your date and time preferences.

Also, please feel free to contact Mira Zaharopoulos if you have any questions (x6502). Thank you so much for your assistance. We look forward to working with you!
