I lu- library had a great deal of useful materials. HEAD-HUNTING Senior David Kerr scans the Interview board to see who made the Big Six. Students often lined up before the doors opened to sign up for interview times. LOOK AHEAD Career services, conveniently located in Sonner Hall, provided JMU students with various work- shops, interview training, and on-campus recruit- ing. Through these programs students were able to learn and master the skills needed to conduct a successful job search and ultimately obtain the po- sition they had been searching for. 1 went to the workshops to learn about resume writing and interviewing, and when it came time to actually go on interviews I felt so much more pre- pared. They were such a big help, said Carrie Diehl, a senior. The graduate school fair really helped me learn about various programs offered by many different schools, said Wesley Mallette, a JMU graduate now attending graduate school at the University of Maryland. Graduating from college was a frightening experience no inatter what route we chose to take take. Suddenly reality hit and we were forced to make real choices about ourselves and our futures. The counselors at career services un- derstood the confusion and anxi- ety of the soon-to-be graduates. Unquestionably, Career Services made life for seniors a little less hectic. -Nancy Bograd career services Ca reer Services O ' 7
