More companies seeking employees at KU
By CINDI CURRIE

Opportunities for KU students to hire hiring companies on campus have increased despite a lighter job market and an increased number of graduates, according to the University Placement Center.
During the past three years the number of corporations, government employers and schools interviewing on campus have increased from 400 to 618, University Placement Center director, said this week.
Geissler said personal contact from the center had increased the number of corporations coming to KU.
"By personal contact we've gotten some companies to come to KU that haven't been here for years," Geissler said. "For example, Macy's and Russell Stover came for the first time in a long time this year."
FRED MADAH, placement director for the School of Business, said 173 companies had come to KU this year and he expected to exceed last year's total of 180 corporations. In 1974, 172 companies visited the school.
"A lot of the large companies are coming back on a continuum basis," he said.
The engineering department has increased company interviewing at KU to 120 and expects more next year, Theresa Pischny, of the engineering placement department said.
"The recruiters have said they've had good interviews," she said. "If they have good interviews, they'll send it to me."
GESISLER SAID the Placement Center set the interviews, but students had to rename for them.
He said an effective resume and knowledge of the company a student interviewed with was essential.
Arthur Thomas, Career Counseling Center counselor, said "You can't just out of bed or 10 minutes later
"Wearing patched jeans is not a good idea. You'd be surprised how many people do not dress neatly or appropriately."
He said dress should be compatible with the duties of the job. A three-piece suit for businessmen and comfortable working clothes for an engineering foreman would be appropriate.
BERNIE SMITH, regional director of HAR Block, said he placed importance on the appearance of an intruder in a computer system.
Smith said an interview was the screening process. He said he had seen skills decision-making, skills self-motivation and skills decision-making.
He said displaying confidence was beneficial in an interview.
"I consider the way a person shakes hands," Smith said. "A wet dishstir is uncomfortable and a firm handshake, whether it's a man or a woman, displays self-assuredness."
Gleissner said interviewers looked at education, extra-curricular activities, work experience and grade point
"They like to see where you have excelled, where you've competed and won," he said. "Leadership qualities, creative imagination and even high school activities should be summarized in some form."
SMITH SAID resumes should include any information about organization membership and hobbies as well as what kind of work you do.
"They may be overlooking saleable skills," he said.
"Sometimes we learn things through a resume about extra-curricular activities that enhance the interviewee marketability as an employee.
That two-way street includes students asking that which indicates interest in the company, Smith said.
- "Campus interviews are like going to the grocery store." Students shop the campus just as interns do. * "Campus interviews are a two-way street."
THOMAS SAID he counseled students to ask questions because the employers liked to think the applicant was busy. He said he had seen people
He said interviewers were impressed when students showed concern about their future and whether the teacher was doing well.
"It's not a good idea to ask about money first." Thomas said. "but questions are appreciated."
