As the real world looms closer on
the horizon, students must try to find a
way to pay die rent and the numerous
student loans they have accumulated.
Searching the classified ads of the
local new taper looking for a job is
becoming outdated because of re
sources available on the World Wide
Web.
The Internet is revolutionizing the
way UNL’s Career Services office does
t&msmOn its home page, <http#
www.unl.edu/careers>, students can
leant how to write a resume or find
times fer the next round of on-kunpus
interviews.
One ofthe most effective electronic
* servicesofferedby Career Services is
being able to regiker a resume on its
home page. This gives protective
employers instant access to informa
tion about applicants. Then companies
can set up interviews.
Far a small fee, students can send
their resumes to thousands of compa
nie8 over the Internet -s

Hre web page allows students and
alumni to access Career Services from
practically anywhere in the world.
Since its creation last November, the
Career Services home page has been
visited almost 23,000 times.
“In the future I see an exploding use
of the Internet which will enable us to
communicate with more students in
more ways,” Career Services Director
.Lany'Routhtud. - -
Although computer access is in
creasing, Ire said, it will never elimi
nate the need for the Career Services
offices.
“Aa students become more in
formed about careers and what we can
do for them, they demand more infor
mation from us,” Routh said.
Career Services has offices in both
the Nebraska and Nebraska East
Unions to help students find jobs and
irate career decisions. It hasaresource
library, comouter center and career
To let students know what jobs are
out there, Career Senpgps lists more
than20,000 new jobsiach week.,.
But providing job listings is only
one service offered by Career Service^
to help graduating seniors find a job.
Graduating seniors should contact
Career Services at least one semester
before graduation to find out about an
campus interviews and opportunities,
Routhsaid.
But they aren’t the only students
who can benefit from a visit to Career
Services.
Routh said students should begin
looking for internships during their
second year id college because “real
world” experience is becoming more
important to prospective employers.
Career Services can alsohelp stu
dents who haven’t even decided on a
career yet
“I had to use a career-finding pro
gram for my (University) Foimdations
class,” said freshman Nick Dahl. “I
would definitely recommend it to oth
ers.”
