Need a job? Career
Service Center can lend you a hand

This summer isn’t all beaches and sand
for a lot of North Lake College students. For
many, it’s just the time to find a job and
rake in a few extra bucks.
After speaking with several NLC students, many
have already began job hunting while others are
just waiting until after finals to start their
search.
What most students don’t realize is that
they can begin looking for jobs right here on
campus. The Career Services Department offers
beneficial services to students all summer long.
NLC students can receive Career Counseling and
Guidance free of charge.
The resource center offers a wide variety of
services including computerized guidance systems,
job search, resume preparation, on-campus recruitment
and career seminars.
NLC student Brandon Baird said, “I have
already applied at a few places, but none of them
have any relation to my studies here at school.
It would be awesome to find a job through Career
Services that would help me improve my marketing
skills.”
Baird, a sophomore, wants to major in marketing.
He plans to transfer to a four-year university
next year.
North Lake freshman Hana Worede said, “I
definitely plan on working and taking classes
through the summer.”
Worede is a biology major and also plans to transfer
to a four-year college. She would like to start
looking for an internship position after finals.
Kevin Amend said, “Yes, I will be taking
summer classes, and I already work.” Summer
is just a hotter time of the year for Amend, while
his school and work routine stays the same. Amend
is a freshman at North Lake, and has not yet decided
on a major.
Francyenne Maynard, director, Career Services,
said, “Right now is a great time for students
to get placed into internship positions. We will
be providing essential teaching tools to students
looking for part or full-time employment.”
Maynard added that students who want one-on-one
counseling are encouraged to make an appointment,
but it is not required.
The Career
Services Center is open 8:30 a.m.
to 7 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 8:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. on Fridays.
