Happy Holidays!

Hopefully by now you have handed in all your projects, your exams are finished and you are ready to enjoy the holiday season. The staff at CAPS would like to wish you a very happy, healthy and safe holiday season. CAPS is closed for the holidays from Friday, December 25, re-opening Monday, January 4. While we are closed, be sure to check The WORKbook for any career questions you have.  We look forward to seeing you in 2010 when we have lots of exciting programming scheduled for the winter semester

Here are some events to watch for in 2010:

Meet employers who are hiring students for summer employment. The Summer Job Fair takes place on Thursday, February 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Butterdome.

Meet with school boards from the local, national and international level. The Education Career Fair takes place on Monday, January 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Butterdome.

Prepare for your veterinary school admissions interview. CAPS is hosting a Veterinary Multiple Mini Interview Day on Saturday, March 6. Registration opens on Monday, January 18 for ALES students and Friday, February 12 for all other students. Experience a simulation of the MMI interview format and practice answering complex questions similar to the ones you will receive in your actual veterinary school admissions interview.  The day also includes presentations on interview skills from CAPS and the Faculty of ALES.

Become a shadow. Register for the first ever Job Shadow Week.  Job Shadow Week takes place over Reading Week and matches you with a community member who is in a career you are interested in. E-mail alexis.lockwood@ualberta.ca by Thursday, December 24, 2009 to say who or where you would most want to job shadow – it could be a specific position (ex. physiotherapist, chemical engineer), field (ex. social services, communications), or organization (ex. Government of Alberta, Stantec).  This will help us make sure Job Shadow Week has the job shadow opportunities you want.  Applications for Job Shadow Week are available online starting Tuesday, January 12. Questions? Attend an Information Session on Monday, January 11 from 12:05 to 12:50 p.m. in 8917 HUB Mall.

Get a top notch resume. CAPS has a variety of services to help you create or update your existing resume. We have dates scheduled for Resume Working Groups and Rapid Resume Reviews for winter.

Ace your interview. CAPS is offering workshops to help you ace your non-profit, public sector or financial industry interview. You can also register for a Mock Interview Individual Consultation.

Don’t forget to check out our upcoming career forums, career chats and portfolio reviews!
