Department Heads and Agvisors,

  This was a 3D memo that came out today announcing the Career Services
workshops in Spring, 2012.  We have an excellent liaison with Career
Services with Jeff Patten,   <mailto:patten at email.arizona.edu>
patten at email.arizona.edu, as the agvisors know.  We are also posting this in
our CALS Monday Message for students, but, since many 3D memos get deleted,
I wanted to bring this to your attention.  Jeff or others from Career
Services will also give guest lectures in classes and we use them in many of
our freshmen colloquia.

UA Career Services Spring 2012 Professional Development Seminars

These 50-minute career workshops are free to all UA students and alumni. The
workshops schedule is subject to change.  For the latest dates and times for
each of these workshops, check out our up-to-date calendar at

Job Search for Internships and Jobs:  This seminar offers information about
the most effective strategies for finding a summer job, an internship during
college or a career position near graduation. Learn a variety of
<http://www.career.arizona.edu/students/?jobsearch> job search methods. 

Federal Job Search: The U.S. Federal Government can be a rich source of
career experience no matter what your field of interest or major. Thousands
of positions deemed 'mission critical' will need to be filled in the coming
years. "Federal Job Search" will give you the basics of federal employment,
opportunities and benefits.

Interviewing For Jobs and Internships:  Learn what to expect and how to
prepare for an interview so that you can answer questions with ease. 

Mastering the Federal Application Process: Unfortunately, many students are
missing out on openings that might be a perfect match for their skills and
interests due to lack of awareness about government jobs and how best to
navigate the federal applications process. "Mastering the Federal
Application Process" will offer tools to understand and effectively maneuver
the federal employment process.

Out on the Job Speaker Series: Out on the Job is a monthly series that
brings 'out' professionals from campus and the community for brown bag
discussions. Speakers talk about their career path and engage students in
dialogue about the challenges and benefits of being out on the job. This

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) people in the
workplace. Snack provided.

Planning for Graduate and Professional School Admissions:  Learn strategies
for  <http://www.career.arizona.edu/webresources/?apply_graduate> applying

write your professional resume and job search letters, focusing on content
