ACU Career Center plans for busy month

September 27, 2013 by JC Peeples

ACU’s Career Center filled its calendar with events for students all through Oct.

Jill Fortson, career network specialist, said the the Career Center has a reputation for being the key that connects students and alumni to the job market.

“The career center is a resource that students and alumni should take advantage of,” Fortson said.

Exciting opportunities for students lie ahead in the next month through the Career Center.

“These events give our students an advantage to get a head start in the race to find a job and also become more marketable in the future,” Fortson said.

Upcoming Career Events through October:

October 1
• Logos Bible Software Interviews for SITC Students – Interviews for software development internship position.
• MLW Financial Phone Accounting/Finance Interviews – Interviews for a full time
staff accountant position. Interviews are to take place in the Career Center rooms via telephone.
October 3
• PwC Accounting Interviews – Interviews for fulltime and internship accounting positions.
October 7
• Career Center Employer Information Session – Alliance Data – Internship opportunities for all majors.
October 8

Students are encouraged to take advantage of the events scheduled next month.

A LinkedIn photo booth and mock interviews will take place every month this semester.

“The headshots are free photos for students’ LinkedIn profile,” Fortson said. Fortson said that students should look into LinkedIn as a social media tool that connects them to employers.

Fortson said that because of resources like the Career Center ACU students are more prepared to enter the job market in comparison to students from other universities.

“It is clear that the resources available to the students at the career center have been very beneficial,” said Fortson.

Fortson said connections are more than possible at ACU.

“We all have a piece in the puzzle,” Fortson said, in regards to faculty advisors, staff members and administrators to prepare students for their future careers.
