Students get jump on
by Bob Shanahan
The unemployment rate for recent college
graduates is 8 per cent compared with a
national unemployment rate of 5 per cent.
With an eye toward this potential obstacle,
executives from two large national firms
Tuesday attempted to give students a jump on
the job scramble.
Jan Stoney, personnel manager for the Bell
Telephone System, and John Kirchner Jr., a
personnel manager from International Business
Machines (IBM), at a seminar told students how
job interviews are conducted and how students
should prepare for them.
The labor market is depressed, Kirchner saidr
and the graduate will have to be somewhat
flexible in his job expectations for the next
couple years.
Stoney explained that in the first interview,
usually held on campus, firms look for a
"job-match" to see if the individual is
compatible with the business.
The second interview is a specific job
interview. The third usually is a visit to a plant
to acquaint the student with working
conditions there.
One question students often ask, according
to Stoney, is "how do I prepare for the
interview?"

Both Stoney and Kirchner agreed neatness
and cleanliness are important. Kirchner added
that "first impressions really do count."
"Before the initial interview, think ftbout
yourself and what you've accomplished and be
prepared to talk about it," Stoney said. "Think
about your strong and weak points, your
personal goals and how many of them you
would sacrifice for a job."
Kirchner advised that the student should be
agressive, have his goals set and have good
questions and ideas ready to discuss in the
interview.
"In an interview we immediately look at
academics, but we temper it with
extracurricular activities," Kirchner said.
Stoney said top scholastics aren't an
overriding consideration, but trends in
scholastics, "good" and "bad" years, are looked
for.
A masters degree? Both speakers agreed "it's
nice, but not that important. A masters degree
doesn't increase a person's salability at this
time."
Which businesses should the student
consider? Kirchner said students should decide,
especially if they're in business, accounting or
engineering, just what discipline they want.
Stoney also urged job-seekers to use the
placement library when looking for a job.
