Center extends
tips to students
looking for jobs
By HOMER JACOBS
Reporter
For most Texas A&M students,
searching for a job probably has as
much appeal as paying parking tick
ets or waiting in drop-add lines.
But Judy Vulliet, assistant direc
tor of the center, says the job search
can be a successful and even pleasant
experience with the help of the Ca
reer Planning and Placement Cen
ter.
The placement center has four
counselors who are available by ap
pointment to provide advice, job
searches and the center’s resources.
It serves all majors although inter
views aren’t available for every pro
fession.
“The vast majority of employers
don’t recruit on college campuses,’’
Vulliet says.
She says the placement center
conducts more than 30,000 inter
views a year for the 5,000 students
registered at the center.
She also says freshmen and soph
omores should begin thinking about
their careers as soon as they arrive
on campus.
Although underclassmen may not
be actively seeking job interviews
with prospective employers, stu
dents can help their futures by par
ticipating in cooperative education
and maintaining good grades, Vul
liet says.
“Most major employers look at
good grades,” she says. “If you have
a 2.2 grade-point ratio, a company
like IBM is not going to hire you.”
Vulliet says cooperative education
is the best work experience available
because the student is able to work
for two semesters.
If a student doesn’t want to go the
co-op route, he at least should be
seeking summer employment that is
professionally relevant, Vulliet says.
She also says a solid list of activ
ities involving leadership positions
impresses employers.
“The employers are looking for
the people that get the job done,”
Vulliet says.
She says belonging to a certain
club is not always enough.
“If you belong to an organization,
be active in it,” Vulliet says.
Upperclassmen should have well-
prepared resumes and polished in
terview techniques if they are to suc
ceed in their job search, she says.
Vulliet says the most frequent
mistakes on resumes involve GPRs
and descriptions of jobs the students
have had.
“They shortchange themselves,”
she says.
Vulliet says she tells a student to
list the GPR from his last 60 hours if
the student had a slow academic
start in his first two years of college.
In such a case she says a student also
could choose to list his GPR strictly
for courses pertaining to his major.
She says that even though a per
son may be a student worker, the job
should be described as a normal
form of employment.
But the single most important as
pect of the job search is the inter
view, Vulliet says.
“Studies have shown that over 90
percent of the time, the decision of
for or against hiring is made in the
first five minutes of the interview,”
Vulliet says.
A student approaching an inter
view should dress appropriately,
look friendly, be prompt and know
the name and title of the inter
viewer, she says.
Vulliet says proper telephone
manners and letter-writing skills im
prove communication with the em
ployer.
“If you’re a good candidate, your
degree will not stop you from get
ting a job,” she says.
Vulliet says the best time for a stu
dent to begin looking for interviews
is during the fall semester of his last
year in school.
She says the main recruiting sea
son for employers begins the third
week of the semester and continues
for another 12 weeks.
Fire ants bugging Lubbock;
'swat team' to start today
AUSTIN — The Texas Depart
ment of Agriculture plans to begin
chemical warfare today against
“gypsy” fire ants that survived what
scientists said the ants could not en
dure — winter in Lubbock.
“This colony has significantly
changed our thinking on how far
north the ants can naturally pro
gress,” said Dr. A. Ann Sorensen, an
agriculture department pest special
ist.“This is definitely not good
news.”
The gypsy ants arrived in Lub
bock on a shipment of oak trees
from East Texas, a heavily infested
region.
Research has ended and the battle
will begin. Armed with maps show
ing 207 mounds, TDA’s new “swat
team” will drench the colonies with
dursban. The area will be treated
later with Amdro as a back-up to the
initial treatment.
The ants also will be attacked by
the agriculture agency, which re
cently set up a 17-member swat team
to battle fire ants.
The agency estimates the Texas
fire ant population at 160 trillion.
