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-

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.

versity, Southerland said.
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.
