If you've never had a chance to do an internship, career services has another
option to help you gain experience in the workplace. Rachel Nelson tells us more
in this Bobcat Update.

Texas State offers several opportunities for students to get their foot in the
door with future employers. One way for students to get a head start is to take
advantage of job shadowing.
**QUOTE: Miguel Guerrero, Career Adviser** (talking about doing a job shadow
over Christmas Break)
Students looking to translate skills learned in the classroom to on-the-job
situations can sign up through November 12th at the Career Services office,
located on the fifth floor of the L-B-J Student Center.
**QUOTE: Michelle Solari, Student** (talking about doing a job shadow last year)
Michelle Solari also says she took advantage of last year's environmental job
and internship fair. Such an event is also scheduled this semester. Look for it
to occur on November 9th.
**QUOTE: Solari**
Career Services will also continue to host job fairs for teaching and
construction-related professions.
**QUOTE: Miguel Guerrero** (discussing the purpose of "nitch" job fairs)
ENDING THE PKG WITH MY STAND-UP…. "Although it's best to interact with future
employers face to face, there's still hope if you can't make it to a job fair.
All companies who participate in the events are posted on the Jobs4Cats website.
