On Thursday, November 16, 2006, the College of Professional Studies Senior Students Center hosted a Resume Review Day sponsored by the Career Center.  Karen Casignal, Career Counselor, reviewed resumes of our students.  13 students signed in to meet one-on-one with the Career Counselor.  The event was held during common hour and was very successful.   Students received guidance toward creating their resumes for internships and jobs.  Many are scheduling follow-up sessions with the Career Center.  Next semester we are considering hosting it for a longer time block and to possibly have two days during the semester to accommodate the needs of our students.
