j Center simplifies job search « On one hand, you want to find something you’re interested in, but on the other hand you shouldn’t have your blinders on.” Emeut Wilber ^ employment specialist By Jonathan Houghton StaffReporter Although summer jobs aren’t tough to find, finding one with long-term ben efits can be difficult. That’s where Emily Wilber can help. Wilber, an employment specialist at the Student Employment and Intern ship Center, says the SEIC can be a valuable resource to students beginning their job searches. “Students don’t have the time to go door-to-door looking for internships,” Wilber said. “We collect that informa tion and make it available to them. The SEIC provides a variety of ser vices to help students, Wilber said. Advisers are on hand to assist students in targeting their job searches. The cen ter also has a web site, with new in ternships listed daily. The SEIC will provide an addi tional service to students by hosting the Job Prom on April 16. Several poten tial employers will be on hand to give students information about available internships and other jobs. One company represented will be Sandhills Publishing, a large employer of University of Nebraska-Lincoln in terns. Heather Thomas, a human re sources consultant at Sandhills Publish ing, said about 50 percent of the company’s graduating student interns go on to work for the company full time. Sandhills Publishing will employ a total of 45 interns, of which 20 posi tions are still available, she said. The company, formerly the Peed Corp., publishes Smart Computing and PC World magazines, in addition to a va riety of trade magazines. Many of the company’s interns will work on the publications based on their individual interests, including account ing, finance, marketing, computers sys tems training, writing apd editing. “We hope to put peopled depo sitions they want, to. be in,” she said. is available through the cifypf Lincoln. Pat Kant, an employment manager with the city ’s personnel department, said re sumes are being accepted at her office. Kant said several state offices con tact her looking for interns. She said business, criminal justice and engineer ing majors have found jobs through her office in the past, but there are no set internships available. “We’ll work with the students and the departments to find something, but it’s a very informal process,’’ she said. Wilber said the key of finding an in ternship is to keep an open mind. Wilber said students should begin thittking about internships by their sophomore year, and figure out where they need to go to get the jobs they want She said some sacrifices might have to be made to find the right job. “If you want to go into marine bi ology and stay in Lincoln, you’re in trouble,’’ she said. mum* OPPORTUNITY Immediate full and part-time openings for experienced and beginning concrete finishers, formsetters, construction workers and equipment operators.
