Career Services will offer seminars about internships Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and its annual Summer Job Fair on Thursday as part of its first-ever Work Experience Week.This is the first time Career Services has put on all these seminars in one week, said Sara Crow, assistant director of communications for Career Services.Crow said the events are open to all students regardless of their major, and none of the events require students to register in advance. All of the week’s events are free, and each seminar is from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. in 155 Coates Hall.The topic of Monday’s seminar will be the value of internships and the importance of work experience. On Tuesday, a panel of students who have completed internships will give advice, Crow said.Wednesday’s seminar topic will be internships with the government. Many people don’t realize how many federal jobs are available to students and how different the application process is from other internship programs, Crow said.Crow said work experience is important for all students because those who have experience in a field earn more money than those who don’t.”Work experience of any kind is what we’re encouraging,” Crow said.Employers are more likely to hire previous interns for full-time positions than a new hire, Crow said. Employers don’t want to spend valuable time training new employees when they could simply hire people who have worked with them before, Crow said.The annual Summer Job Fair will commence Thursday. The fair will be held in the Cotillion Ballroom from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.—-Contact Rachel Warren at [email protected]
