Career center to offer advice on job hunting
Students who are unaware of their future careers will have an opportunity tomorrow to talk to some people who have already made career decisions.
Barbara Bloom, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource and Career Center at KU and one of the sponsors of the program, said, "The program is for anyone who wants to hear what it's really like in the field."
Participants can listen to workers and professionals in fields including health, law, business, public relations, social welfare and engineering.
Participants can also help with resume writing and interviewing in a workplace.
The career panels will meet in several rooms of the Queens Union from 10.30 a.m.
Carol Nalandian, acting director of the Adult Life Resource Center, said she would be leading another workshop. "What to do if I don't Know What I Want to Do."
"I will be helping those people who are undecided about a career. I can show them the career planning process and how to get started," Nalbandian said.

two stainless steel rods on the vertebrae of Fawni's spine. The rods are used to hold the back straight so that the patient can undergo physical therapy.
Weekend shows also in Woodruff at 3:30, 7:00, 9:30 or 12 midnight unless otherwise noted; up to 150 admission
Asher removed the rods the day after the operation, however, because they were affecting the nerves that lead to Fawzi's different vertebrae in the operation next week.
A Med Center spokesman said it was not unusual for the roach to affect the nerves in a person.
The rods probably will remain on Fawzi's spine for about a year, the spokesman said.
Maher el Ashri, an Egyptian physician who came to the Med Center with Fawzi,
Ashi said through an interpreter that he来到了 the United States to learn how to treat scoliosis. He said that only one hospital in Egypt had performed operations on patients. He also said that the Med Center was well-known for its orthopedic surgery.
FAWZI PROBABLY will remain at the Med Center for two and a half to four weeks after the second operation. He will be fitted with a ventilator and he will receive physical therapy while he's there.
Fawaii lives in faith and Hope Village in
Kabul, where she was baptized by her
Satire's wife for handicapped children.
Fawzi had five brothers. No member of his family came to the United States with him.
