Marquette to Offer Graduating Seniors Job Search Boot Camp Released: May 11, 2006 MILWAUKEE –The Marquette University Career Services Center will offer graduating Marquette seniors a chance to hone their job seeking skills during a “Job Search Boot Camp” on Tuesday, May 16, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Career Services Center, located at 1324 W. Wisconsin Ave. This day-long workshop offers instruction in the most critical job search skills including: resume and cover letter writing, interviewing techniques, networking skills, and making employer contacts. For those seniors still unsure about their career path after college, Job Search Boot Camp will provide tools to give them greater direction in their search for the right professional pursuit. As part of the workshop, students will locate and apply for at least one professional position, compile a targeted list of fifteen potential employers, determine ten networking contacts, and contact at least five of them. Participants will also exercise their communication and marketing skills in a mock interview, have their resume and cover letter reviewed by a professional counselor and learn about additional skills required for an effective job search. The Marquette University Career Services Center strives to assist all students and alumni in discerning, developing, and pursuing meaningful traditional and non-traditional career paths. Marquette University's Job Search Boot Camp 2006 is generously sponsored by Target and WisconsinJobs.com with career specific giveaways from MonsterTRAK, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare-Milwaukee, and Ernst &Young LLP. This event is offered as part of the university's Senior Week. Interested media should contact Anne Broeker in the Office of Marketing and Communication.
