Job search center
Center more than interviews
By Lee Rood
Staff Reporter
If there's one thing students should
realize about the Career Planning and
Placement Center, it is that it provides
more than just on-campus interviewing.
Janel Queen, assistant director ol
the center, said too many students
don't know all the services the center
can provide.
Queen said that most students are
aware of the on-campus interviews the
center sets up from September to April
every year, but there's much more than
that.
Every year the center receives more
than 40,000 job listings for various
fields, and about the same number of
employment opportunites for teachers.
Queen said students should regu
larly check job listings in the job bul
letin in front of the office and the

Coby Bunch Simerly, a former
assistant dean of agriculture and
acting director of human resources
and family studies at the University
of Illinois at Urbana, has been
named interim director of the Office
of Career Planning and Placement
at UNL. '
Siincrly, named to the post in tie
January, succeeds Gerry Phaneuf,
who resigned from the position to
establish a first-of-its-kind career
planning service in Omaha.
James Griesen, interim vice ch
cellor for student affairs, said Simerly
has proven herself to be a person of
remarkable versatility and ability,
whose career has been marked by a
continuing concern for the aspira
tions of college personnel and stu
dents. She has been active in a var
iety of programs, which in many
cases extend far beyond the imme

Because local employers often call
the center for resumes, the center can
refer registered students to them as
well.
Last semester the center provided a
free university course on job hunting,
and Queen said there should be more
in the future.
The center also provides workshops
and seminars on job hunting and
interviewing.
The center itself is supplied with
career and corporate libraries to help
students find out which jobs are avail
able in big companies and how to get
them.
All alumni, undergraduate and grad
uate students at UNL are eligible to use
the Career Planning and Placement
Center. Students are encouraged to
register two semesters before they
expect to seek employment. Early reg
istration is important as many employ
diate responsibilities of the posi
tions she has held and reflect her
committment both to her profession
and her community," he said.
Simerly, whose husband is dean
of the Division of Continuing Stu
dies at UNL, has been working for
the past several months on a half
time basis in the OITice of Student
Affairs and half-time in the Office of
Research and Graduate Studies.
Simerly was acting director of the
School of Human Resources and
Family Studies, which is the Univer
sity of Illinois at Urbana's title for
resident instruction in the College
of Agriculture from 1981-85 while
also serving as assistnat director of
the School of Human Resources and
Family Studies.
Simerly was associate professor

Eastern Illinois University from

A registration packet includes a
Personal Data Sheet, an Academic
Record Form and a copy of the Place
ment Manual. Students and alumni
must have completed a registration
packet before interviewing on campus
or compiling credentials.
Center officials recommend that
each student attend a scheduled orien
tation session in order to obtain a reg
istration packet and become familiar
with the range of center services.
Any senior, graduate student or
alumni may establish a credential file.
Credentials are made available to
employers on request and are mailed at
a nominal fee.
Students interested in registering
with the Career Planning and Place

the Nebraska Union to set up an
