Placement office gives seminars THE BATTALION Page 7 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1978 University offers resume advice By MARTHA HOLLIDA A problem facing many job- hunting seniors is that of preparing a resume, and Texas A&M University offers assistance to students in vari ous ways. “From time to time the place ment service decides to offer a class in resume writing but we usually provide personal and individual as- sitance,” said Jesse M. Southerland, associate director of the placement office. A number of books containing sample resumes and instructional cassette tapes are in the placement service library for student use. The office publishes a placement man ual, which provides students with resume information. Seminars for dorms, classes and clubs are regularly held and many departments ask placement person nel to attend their senior seminars. A course in resume preparation is also conducted through Free Uni- I MANOR EAST 3 THEATRES Special ‘DIV ? fine aids drunk drivers • fo: By LESLIE YEZAK Driving while intoxicated in Col- je Station may not be as serious a charge as one might think. A policy called D.I.V. (Drunk in Vechide) reduces a first offender’s driving-while-intoxicated charge to charge of public intoxication. Ac cording to police, the fine for a D.I.V. will usually be around $218.50. College Station Police Chief Mar vin Byrd said the public intoxication charge gives a first offender a break. All of us have made a mistake at one time or another,” Byrd said. The D.I.V. charge, because it carries no conviction record, may help keep the arrested person’s in surance rates down. “A charge of driving while intoxi cated will have a conviction record resulting in an increase of insurance rates unless the sentence is pro bated,” said Bradley Smith, Brazos County court at law judge. “A first offender can be fined a maximum of $500 and two years in jail.’’ Money generated by D.I.V. fines go to College Station and money from driving while intoxicated fines go to the county. Anyone charged with a D.I.V. has the opportunity to argue his case in court. SEMI-TOUGH 7:25-9:45 HEROE?

The English department also of fers help through a technical writing course and the writing lab. “Preparing a resume is one of the major assignments in English 301 and we provide help for students who come by the writing lab,” said Dr. Ray Leighman, director of the English writing lab. The library has books on how to prepare resumes, and directories to assist people in locating prospective employers. “The librarians will provide assis tance and tackle any questions stu dents may have about resume prep aration,” said Vicki Anders, instruc tional service librarian. The management department of fers advice on resume preparation to students in personnel courses. The animal science department offers a sophomore agribusiness seminar course, which includes information on writing resumes. Most departments refer students to the placement service. A number of different forms of re sumes are available to students to use. “Generally a good resume is a good resume anytime, but often particular businesses will provide a certain form,” said Anders. “There are different styles of re sumes for graduate schools and jobs,” Southerland said. “Education majors may have to fill out a differ ent type of form than students in other fields. Often they are asked to include publications,” said Leighman. A resume should cover personal and education information and any type of continuing education, Southerland said. Employment ex perience, certificates or licenses, extra-curricular activities and hob bies should also be included. He added that references should be available upon request. Students should include any part time or volunteer work in the em ployment section. “High school honors are usually not mentioned unless the award was on the state or national level,” Southerland said. “We encourage students to in clude their strengths and to provide their best credentials,” Leighman said. Dr. Thomas Tieh, associate pro fessor of the geology department said that he advises students to list all course work. “Industries need more people with a quantitative background in chemistry, physics, math and engi neering,” he said.
