As you may or may not know, the month of November is a very special month. Of course, there are some well known days in November, like Veterans' Day and Thanksgiving, but something not everyone knows is that the ENTIRE month of November at Seton Hall is devoted to Career Development. Let's see why November is something you should remember...Now, you may be asking yourself "why does this matter, I'm going to be a freshman," or "November is not for another three months." However, Career Development month does concern you as a first year student. In fact, as a first year student it is a requirement to attend at least one program offered by the Career Center.
The good news is that there are many events to choose from and they are all excellent sources of information. For example, have you ever wanted to hear the unbiased facts straight from a professional in your field of interest? You may be interested in the Real Deal Series. Would you like to hear what a fellow SHU student who is in your major, but a couple years ahead has to say? Come check out Major Quest. There are many more events, including a showing of an excellent fim related to the challenges of finding a career that fits who you are. A detailed description of all the Career Center's events can be found at: http://studentaffairs.shu.edu/career/cdm2007.pdf.
Before your schedule gets "too busy" in the Fall, you may want to consider thinking about "My Career, My Community, My Calling." This is an easy contest that answers the question: "How does my personal experience of calling and community impact my career choice?" Two first place winners will earn $100.00 each, and another two will receive $50.00, which will be added dierctly to your Pirate Gold account. The essay is not due until November 20, 2007 to the Career Center. All freshman are encouraged to enter.
