Getting Started

We've officially been in school now for two weeks and your classes are starting to become familiar. Get excited because we only have 12 more weeks to go. The year is going to fly by!

The first couple of weeks are usually very stressful, but don't worry - it gets better! If you are having doubts about the course you are taking, you have other options. Come talk to us at the Career Center and we can help you get into a program that better suits you!

School is tough work; lots of assignments and lots of events going on. Where can you fit it all in?
It's a good idea to start learning time management skills earlier rather than later. Your success mentor will always be there to help you out. Don't be afraid to be keen and work ahead in class or ask for help.

We are always available in the Career Center to do our best to help you out. We have computers you can access, free fax machine service and much more. Don't hesitate to come in.

The school has so many different resources, it would be a shame not to use them. If you need tutoring, it's free; if you need someone to proof read your work, we've got it.

Get involved with our resources, I can guarantee you that they will help you.

Good luck with the rest of the semester and remember: don't stress out!

Thanks for listening :)
Your peer employment advisor,
Leah

Working on Campus

Hey guys,
My name is Leah Smolders and I am the new Peer Employment Advisor for the Career Centre. Some of you might know who I am, some of you may not. I am here to tell you a bit about what it's like to work on campus and to encourage you to do the same.
I was hired on as the Peer Employment Advisor a couple of weeks before school started and it's been a blast so far. I have been learning so much from how to properly do resumes and how to get your best job search done.
It has been great working at the school because your employers realize school comes first. I work during the day only when I can. If I have a two hour break, like I know manyof you do, I work.
It's nice being able to walk to work; the convenience is great. It's not too many hours but it still allows me some pocket change for the weekends.
It is a great learning experience and I encourage all of you to check out our Work Study Postions.
We are hiring another Peer Employment Advisor here in the Career Centre. Drop in your resume.
Are you needing resume assistance? Come into the Career Centre and we will do our best to help you spice it up.

Thanks guys, talk to you soon.
