3 Ways Interfolio Can Help
*Build Your Dossier: You don't need to wait until you're on the job market to begin collecting confidential letters and other professional documents. Getting a head start while you're still working towards your degree can save tons of stress and headaches when you actually go on the market years later.
*Establish a Professional Identity: With the Interfolio Portfolio, you can immediately begin collecting examples of your work, reflecting on work and classroom experiences, and demonstrating teaching skills. You can do this all through an easy-to-use, online service that can be as private or as public as you want it to be. It's a resource you can begin maintaining as a graduate student and continue updating throughout your whole career, even after you've left campus.
*Efficiently Manage the Job Search: Graduate students continue to represent the highest percentage of Interfolio's membership. Aspiring job applicants across most of the humanities (English, History, Political Science, etc...) take advantage of Interfolio's dossier service to manage all documents for their search. Here is an article recently posted in the Chronicle of Higher Education about Interfolio's services.

Here are strategies for navigating the peculiarities of an economy that could last the next few years.

Preparing your first résumé can be a daunting task: You've got little work history to share and you're unsure about what else you need to include. Ultimately, it's important to convey your skills and eagerness to land your first job to employers, say experts. Most employers won't expect you to be an expert and are just looking for a concisely written one-page sheet that accurately shows off your skills and potential.

Keep your eye out for an email containing the link to the Spring and Summer 2010 Employment Survey that was launched May 4, 2010. The Career Services and Shriver Centers are interested in learning about the part-time jobs/internships you held during the spring semester and your plans for the upcoming summer months.
PNC Bank has generously donated two sets of four box seat tickets to Oriole games (each set valued at $200). Complete the brief survey and earn a chance to be one of the two randomly selected winners!
If you want to find out what prospective employers think of you, don't wait till you don't get a job and then ask the recruiter for feedback. It's a litigious society, so they won't share it.
The recruiter will say something generic like how much they liked you but the field was just so competitive. Furthermore, at this point, you are already closed out for the job. You can't use any feedback you do get because your next interviews will be for different jobs with different players. Instead of generic feedback received too late, you need to get personal and specific feedback that you can act upon before a decision is made.
In order to do that, ask your interviewer these tough questions.
Here we are just a few weeks from graduation and although companies are hiring a bit more this year, it's still a tough market, according to CareerBuilder's annual job forecast.
How many graduates will make careless and thoughtless mistakes trying to find their first full-time job? It's downright shocking the blunders many applicants make when looking for work. They should know better.

On Thursday, May 27 at noon Michelle Singletary, Washington Post Columnist, and Ellen Gordon Reeves, author of Can I Wear My Nose Ring to the Interview?, will be hosting a live online chat. They invite new graduates with questions about the job search process to attend. It can be found at washingtonpost.com/discussions.

When you talk about finding a job, the biggest changes have come from technology. Once upon a time, you couldn't look at listings online; you needed a newspaper. You couldn't save 20 different résumés on your computer; you had to type each one out on a typewriter.
Technology has certainly made some tasks easier, but are job seekers relying too much on it? We asked some experts if they thought job seekers were doing themselves a disservice by ignoring some old-school techniques. While no one thinks you need to toss your online tools aside, they suggest you go back to the basics to boost your chances of getting the job.

CAREER WEEK 2010
March 22-26
UMBC's third annual Career Week offers an opportunity for current students to "get connected to the rest of the world" and "explore their professional options" through presentations, workshops and one-on-one mentoring with alumni and employers.
In today's economic climate, now more than ever, it is important for UMBC students to begin exploring their career options as early as freshman and sophomore years. However, what may not be as obvious is the relationship between academic major and career options. Career Week is designed to bridge the gap. Each event has the potential to speak to the needs of any student, no matter the student's status in the career development process - from undecided major to graduating senior.
Check out the types of events lined up for this year and create your own Career Week schedule! Attend as many or as few events that make sense for where you are in planning your career path.
Types of events to Attend:
Career Conversations Check out these 50-minute workshops focused on various career topics presented by experts from the field and campus community.
Alumni Panel Discussions Hear UMBC alumni talk about their stories of personal success and the not so linear career paths that they have taken.
Resume Reviews & Interviewing Tips Work one-on-one with an employer or alumna/us to discuss your most valuable marketing tool - your RESUME. Sessions will last 15 minutes. Registration is advised. Walk-ins are welcome.

LAUREL (March 2, 2009): The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) is looking for budding engineers in Prince George's and Montgomery counties. For the fourth consecutive year, the Commissioners are offering a $1,000 scholarship to a Prince George's County or
Montgomery County, college student majoring in engineering.
The maturing WSSC workforce and the on-going need to replace and maintain an aging infrastructure will create many opportunities in the water and wastewater profession, especially in engineering. Commission Chair Joyce Starks of Prince George's County views the scholarship as an excellent opportunity to identify potential hires to meet WSSC's need for engineers. She has spearheaded the scholarship initiative for several years. The first scholarship was awarded in 2006.
"Inspiring young local engineers to enter the field of water and wastewater management is vital to the Commission and its ability to provide essential water services to the Sanitary District," according to Chair Starks.
In addition to the $1,000 cash award, the scholarship winner may be offered the chance to gain valuable on-the-job experience working as a paid WSSC summer intern.
To qualify for the scholarship, students must:
* Attend a Maryland university/college and have a permanent home
address in Prince George's or Montgomery County;
* Be enrolled in an engineering degree program that 1) leads at a
minimum, to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering; or 2) an advanced
degree in engineering.
* Past winners are also eligible to compete.
Applicants should submit the following materials with a cover letter:
1. Proof of permanent residency in the WSSC district (a legal
document such as a passport, driver's license);
2. A recent transcript
3. Two references
4. A 400-1000 word essay written by the applicant on any topic of
importance to engineering, water/wastewater engineering, or the role of
a water utility in the 21st century.
Applications should be submitted to Charlett Bundy, Esq., Corporate Secretary, Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, 14501 Sweitzer Lane, Laurel, MD 20707, or, email/fax Ms. Bundy at cbundy@wsscwater.com.
The six WSSC Commissioners set policy for and oversee operations of WSSC and its more than 1,400 employees. In addition to Chair Starks the other Commissioners are Vice - chair Gene W. Counihan, Adrienne A. Mandel and Dr. Roscoe M. Moore, Jr. of Montgomery County and Prem P. Agarwal and Dr. Juanita D. Miller of Prince George's County.

Training and Recruitment Initiative for Admission to Leading Law Schools
Trials is a residential scholarship program that helps talented and motivated college students of modest means gain admission to the nation’s leading law schools.
This rigorous five-week summer course enhances opportunities for students of underrepresented backgrounds by bolstering their skills and focusing their goals.
Trials is a unique partnership of NYU School of Law, Harvard Law School, and the Advantage Testing Foundation. It is a fully subsidized summer study program for students of modest means whose backgrounds are currently underrepresented at the nation’s top law schools. The 2009 Trials program is generously supported by a grant from the Heckscher Foundation.
For five weeks in July and August, Trials students take residence at Harvard or New York University. The residency alternates from year to year, with Harvard hosting the program in 2009, and NYU Law hosting in 2010. The inaugural 2009 Trials session is scheduled to occur from July 13 — August 14.
Each week, senior instructors from Advantage Testing prepare Trials students for the LSAT by deconstructing the test and presenting a step-by-step approach to each question type. Students maintain a rigorous practice testing schedule, frequently sitting for full-length official LSATs under simulated testing conditions. Working closely with their instructors, students learn to develop an individualized study plan, focus their preparation, and apply the core principles they master.
Trials students also attend lectures presented by prominent lawyers, public figures, and legal scholars, including distinguished faculty from both NYU Law and Harvard Law School. These lectures provide a wide-ranging introduction to the study and practice of the law while giving students the opportunity to ask specific questions related to their particular fields of interest.
Perhaps most important, Trials allows students to experience communities similar to those they will encounter in law school. Students form study groups to challenge, motivate, and inspire one another. In lunches with instructors and speakers, students can take part in informal discussions to learn more about the law, their peers, and themselves.
Finally, Trials is committed to taking full advantage of the resources of its host locations. Students enter the field in Boston and New York City to meet with and observe lawyers at work, garnering practical experience that complements the academic curriculum
