Center links graduates with jobs
Director says students need services to target smaller firms

A changing job market has made it
necessary for graduating students to
be more aggressive when searching
for jobs, a UNL administrator said.
“The job market has changed,**
said Larry Routh, director of the Ca
reer Planning and Placement Center.
“If there’s one huge message to de
liver, it’s the world of work is chang
ing a great deal.
“And the corporate giants that used
to hire a lot of college graduates—the
Fortune 500 companies — are not
doing as much hiring now. It’s more
small and medium-sized organiza
tions.”
These companies, which Routh
labeled the “middle market,” have
fewer resources to rocuil at college
campuses, so students need to make
efforts to reach out to them.
However, students searching for
jobs do not have to go at it alone. The

ter, located in the Nebraska Union,
can help in many ways, Routh said.
The office, which he said helped
thousands of students each year, of
fered assistance in locating and con
tacting potential employers, drafting
resumes and arranging interviews with
companies.
For $15, he said, a student could
enter into a referral service that the
center managed.
The process begins with the stu
dent drafting a resume, which is then
entered into a computer fi le and stored.
Routh said resume writing assistance
was available through the center.
Businesses contact the center, and
Career Planning and Placement em
ployees scan the files for students who
fit each business’ hiring criteria, he
said. These students’ resumes are then
sent to the companies.
The process is simple, he said. The
center sends out more than 6000 re
sumes a year.
The couer also offers students help
in preparing for interviews with po
tential employers. Routh said that for
a successful interview, students should
know their strengths and be prepared
to talk about them.
With a little rehearsal, students
can be very prepared for any inter
views. The center arranges mock in
terviews to give students an idea of
what an interview is like, he said.
