JOB HUNTING TIPS Under federal law, you need not include items such as age, race, religion, and similar data. GPA is essential information, because it gives your future employer an idea of how hard you push yourself to achieve. Always make your resume as concise and neat as possible, but having a professional typesetter handle it is usually a waste of time and money. Make an attempt to make something about your resume unique, that way it will seperate itself from the other resume your future employer may be reviewing. Always follow up on your resumes with a phone call. It shows the interviewer that you are willing to go after the job that you want instead of waiting to hear from them. Whenever possible, keep the body of your accomplishments on the first page of your resume, anything after that will not recieve much attention. Always dress appropriately for the interview. This means wearing what you would wear to work if you got the job. Use eye contact to your advantage throughout the inter- view. Be sure to send your interviewer a letter thanking them for their time. Students such as this one Degin planning iheir coroe: options os soon os they con.

TaMpa Atea P oVidei Eowjflmq fo i Ei e tyottf, By Kristy L. Strickland A large amount of the students who come to UT each year had never been to the Tampa area before. These students came from places such as New York. New Jersey, Michigan, Georgia, and other Florida cities. They fast ba- come accustomed to the city and begin to learn where things are. Naturally, for the out-of-town student, areas of interests are the airport, shopping malls, and night spots. Tarrpa soon became a home away from home, and stu- dents learned that the area was in many ways very similar to the towns they had came from. The Tampa Bay area seemed to be diverse enough to offer a wide array of activities and events to satisfy the needs of most every member of the UT community. Wheth- er it be professional sports, rock concerts, Broadway plays, or Disneyworld. it was all within reach of the Bay area. The area also provided many beaches and camping sites for those who enjoyed the outdoor life. Originally from New York, transfer student Genie DelPezzo said, I could spend every day at the beach. It's always the right weather for it. The city also offers a wide variety of ways to further one's studies after completing a UT program. The University of South Florida offers a wide range of Master's Degree pro- grams. Across the bay, many UT graduates decide to at- tend law school at Stetson University. The city is always ready for any avid shopper. It is the home of four major shopping molls - Tampa Bay Center. Westshore Plaza, Eastlake Square Mall, and University Mall. Students have the opportunity to attend many big name concerts during the course of the year. The concerts range from such favorites as George Michael to Alabama. Con- certs are held at many different locations such as the USF Sundome, Tampa Stadium, the Bayfront Center, the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall, and the Lakeland Civic Center. It was not altogether unusual for several concerts to be in town on the same night. These many aspects of the city provided an ideal atmo- sphere for students to learn and enjoy themselves in what little spare time they may have. For this reason, many stu- dents chose to stay in the Tampa Bay area after gradu- ation. The Tampa International Airport provides many economic opportunities lor the city of Tompo fifteen
