 |
How early before
my son/daughter starts school should they
start looking for employment in the Lima
area? |
 |
A few weeks before they
start they can check out www.limanews.com and
see what openings are available in the Lima
area. We do offer a packet of Area
Employer Applications at Orientation that
are available to students to return to the
employers. Please see the Career Services
table at our next Orientation. |
|
Is Career Services
a placement office? |
|
No, Career Services provides
information on job opening and employers
and will assist your son/daughter in finding
suitable employment. Career Service
also offers information on interviewing,
resumes and professionalism that will guide
your son/daughter to succeed. |
|
How many hours
a week should my son/daughter work starting
out in college? |
|
Typically new students should
limit themselves to no more than 25 hours
a week. This also depends on the student,
class load and other extracurricular activities
in which they participate, and if they are
available during the weekends. As students
further their education most often work close
to 40 hours a week. |
|
How easy is it
to find a job in Lima, OH? |
|
It is not hard to find a
job in the Lima area as long as your son/daughter
is willing to apply for any and all jobs available. This
means not limiting themselves by not applying
for jobs at retail stores or restaurants and
being willing to work on weekends. Employers
in the Lima area know that students’ first
obligation is their school work and try to
accommodate their school schedule. |
|
How can Career
Services help my son/daughter find employment
once they have graduated? |
|
First of all, Career Services can help
your son/daughter with their resume. A
resume is an advertisement of their qualifications
and skills. Then Career Services can
educate them on interviewing skills through
a seminar or one on one with one of the Directors. They
also provide job searches for students and
alumni. With our Career Magnet website,
students register themselves and then have
the opportunity to post their resume, search
job openings and contact employers directly. |
