Placement Bureau Could Help You Because of this, the ISU Placement Bureau annually checks on every Idaho State graduate of the College of Edu- cation and compiles a teacher follow- up report. The replies are candid about the teaching ability displayed by Idaho State graduates in their first year as instructors. Weaknesses and areas of improvement are pointed out by principals. Even ISU students planning to enter graduate school find the Placement Bureau useful. Most graduate schools require complete transcripts and cre- dential files from each applicant. This task is also handled by the placement oflice. Service-to students, graduating seniors and to alumni-is the main objective of the Idaho State University Placement Bureau. As the university enlarges, so will the Placement Bureau. Even with future expansion, however, the bureau's goal will remain the same-to aid persons in finding suit- able employment. Maybe this will in- clude you, too. J' sd? U-X Q 2 if S, . K' n ir ' I In , er J ge nfit ah ' cv 4. if 'Y 3 H I 31 I Willie.

Looking for a Job? lSU's By Sian Martin Are you looking for a job? If so, the Idaho State University Placement Bureau might be able to help you. No, the Placement Bureau isn't de- signed to replace initiative of job seekers. Nor is it attempting to be a lifetime employment agency for pres- ent and former ISU students. How, then, can the Placement Bureau be of help to you in obtaining a new position? When applying for a job you un- doubtedly will have to supply cre- dentials and references to the Prospec- tive employer. If you have kept your records up-to-date with the Placement Bureau, the school will send, free of charge, the required material to the employer. This is just one of several programs conducted by the Placement Bureau, created on the Idaho State campus in 1948. Now in its 16th year of operation, the Placement Bureau aids the univer- sity students in obtaining part-time work while in school and seeks posi- tions for graduating seniors besides its programs for alumni. The bureau, with files dating back to 1911, attempts to keep all records current for graduates of the Pocatello school and Southern Idaho College of Education, whose records were trans- ferred to ISU a few years ago. By arranging interviews between seniors and prospective employers, the Placement Bureau has greatly increased job placings in recent years. Whenever possible, the bureau will recommend persons for advancements. Credentials play an important role for teachers. More than half the cre- dentials prepared for employers and students related to education majors.
