Students told
to hunt for jobs

ijiberal arts students have to sell them-
||lves when looking for a job, a consul-
B for Arthur Andersen said at an inter-
' Bv workshop Thursday night.
Hliberal arts students are interesting
jjeoplc,” Danny Parsley said. “They’re
mrketable and qualified. They have a
i iff, lot to offer companies.”
Iea<r Barsley said the most important aspect
ofii erviewing is the first impression.
* HWithin the first minute of an inter-
iview the interviewer has already made an
~ : Biion,” he said. “If that impression of
you is bad, you have 29 minutes to
panpe his opinion.”
8 B^ook sharp and dress accordingly,”
|irsky said. See what other people are
i Bring to the interviews and follow
suit.
7p;Be stressed that liberal arts students
arei.'it going to be recruited by compa
nies He said students have to go out and
|a job.
tarsley said that many liberal arts stu-
|s pass up the chance to interview
gh the placement center because
ipanies do not specifically look for
arts students.
1 “If you find a company you are inter-
jested in, go after it,” he said. “If the
■pany doesn’t have a place for liberal
gits to sign up at the placement center,
oto the company personally and see if
Mean get an interview.”
parsley said that companies will hire
Dm
students without experience before grad
uation, but a couple of months after
graduation companies will expect a stu
dent to have experience.
Pat Johnson, associate director for ca
reer development workshops at A&M,
said a lot of companies are not looking
for liberal arts students, but when they
meet them they become interested.”
Johnson said students need to keep
their interview on a high note and make
it a good experience.
Parsley said to come to the interview
prepared and keep up with the company
and their competition.
“Realistically you don’t need to know
that much about the company, but you
should know where you’ll fit in at the
company,” Parsley said.
He showed a short video made by Ar
thur Andersen depicting all the wrong
things that can be done in an interview.
Tardiness, attentiveness, and the asking
of improper questions, such as expected
amount of vacation time, were covered
in the video.
After the video. Parsley staged two
mock interviews showing the proper and
improper ways to handle an interview.
He said staying alert and being positive
were two important aspects of the proper
interview.
In the closing of the interview, Parsley
said a student should explain why they
will be a good thing for the company.
“You have the chance to talk about the
things you’ve done and present them in a
favorable way.” Parsley said. “Sell your
self.”
A&M medic
wins honor
in contest

A student member of the Texas A&M
Emergency Care Team, TAMECT, was
chosen runner-up in a national competi
tion for 1988 Paramedic of the Year.
Steve McDonald, a senior biology ma
jor from Deer Park, received the award
because he has served as TAMECT chief
of Emergency Medical Services for two
years while taking pre-med courses, said
Bonny Scott, a senior zoology major
from Pasadena and president of TA
MECT.
“As chief, Steve is on emergency call
24 hours a day,” Scott said. “He is ulti
mately responsible for any medical deci
sions made at emergency sites.”
TAMECT is a volunteer student orga
nization that provides 24-hour emer
gency medical care for the A&M campus
and the Bryan-College Station area, said
Karen Holmes, a junior biomedical sci
ences major and officer in TAMECT.
TAMECT also provides stand-by
emergency teams at university events
like bonfire cut, football games and con
certs, Holmes said.
She said TAMECT also trains its
members, campus organizations and
community groups in emergency care
techniques like CPR.
Scott said Emergency Medical Serv
ices is the most visible division of TA
MECT.
EMS staffs two ambulances equiped
with full life support systems. The ambu
lance crews are on call all day, every day
of the week during the fall, spring and
summer semesters.
As chief of EMS, McDonald coordi
nates the emergency crews that staff the
two EMS ambulances, Scott said.
The Journal of Emergency Care and
Transportation sponsors the contest,
Scott said.
The journal recognizes two paramed
ics from applicants across the United
States, she said.
McDonald said he joined TAMECT
five years ago because of his interest in
the medical field. He enjoys his office,
even though it is,demanding, he said.
“It’s a lot of work and responsibility,”
McDonald said. “But it’s rewarding to
work with the medics and see them grow
and learn.
“Helping people means a lot to me,”
he said.
Ummigrant’ evokes tears,

wer
1 fjChildren often sit at their grand-
I I'j-parents knee and listen to stories of
LlvB'olden days.” These tales are of-
Babout pioneers, entrepreneurs
d Bnmigrants. One such story came
I life in front of 1,800 people in
ftjflder Auditorium Thursday night
the Missouri Repertory Theatre
jented “The Immigrant.”
lallKSI The play tells the story of Haskell
: iilfi-Harelik, a Russian Jew who emim-
enlsspled to the United States via Gal-
Bon, and opened up Harelik’s De
partment Store in Hamilton, Tx.
Based on fact, the play was written
by Harelik’s grandson, Mark Hare-
lik.
The play opens as Harelik, newly
immigrated from Russia, is peddling
bananas door to door. He meets up
with Milton and Ima Perry, who take
him in and help him adjust to Amer
ican life. As Harelik’s banana busi
ness grows, Milton Perry, who owns
the bank in Hamilton, persuades
him to open a fruit stand. Harelik
works hard and saves enough money

to bring his wife Leah over from
Russia. Leah has trouble adjusting to
America, and to the fact that Haskell
is no longer leading the strictly ko
sher life of a Jew. But as time passes,
the two reconcile their differences,
and the Haskells and the Perrys be
come the best of friends.
That friendship is shattered when
Milton and Haskell argue over
America’s role in foreign affairs.
Haskell’s sympathy with those perse
cuted abroad is in direct conflict with
Milton’s belief that you can’t help ev
eryone. This disagreement causes a
rift between the two that is not
healed until shortly before Milton’s
death.
Jack Laufer was outstanding as
the immigrant Haskell Harelik. His
comic timing was impeccable. He
balanced humor with real depth,
which came out in his letters to his
wife, and in his love for his children
and his religion.
As Milton Perry, Gary Neal John
son made a perfect foil for Haskell.
Ever the conservative, stubborn yet
kind Texan, Johnson had the audi
ence laughing as he dealt with his
wife, his neighbors and his business.
But Johnson wasn’t one-sided either.
When he was overcome by sickness
at the end, more than one audience
member was in tears.
Perhaps the best performance of
the evening was given by Rebecca
Taylor as Ima Perry. She portrayed
a perfect example of the staunch
Baptist who loves life and people,
and is always ready with a smile or a
word of wisdom. Her conversation
with Leah Haskell about supersti
tions almost brought the house
down with laughter, and her strug
gle with her husband’s sickness and
eventual death was heartrending.
The play was well directed and
flowed from scene to scene. The use
of slides during scene changes indi
cated time change and easily kept
audience attention.
