Hello! My name is Catherine Lange and I am the new Writing Specialist for the Office of Career Services. I am an English major, with minors in German and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). My goal for this blog is to compile useful information for students as they look toward graduating and moving on to a career or graduate school.
This particular post is an introduction to myself and the Office of Career Services (OCS). I want you,the student, to feel less as though these words tumbled here from cyberspace and more like OCS is a welcoming place. I know I frequently tell my friends that they should come to OCS and bring something for me to work on.
My job encompasses many things. Thus far, I have called graduates to fill out surveys, compiled paragraphs describing the majors offered at MC, helped a friend with his job search and application process, distributed promotional materials to faculty and coaches, created a newsletter for employers, and helped with promotional projects for OCS. It is my hope that my job encompasses more than this in the future: there is always something more to learn, and, subsequently, to do.
My future goals include teaching high school English until I can afford graduate school. Currently, my plans beyond graduation from MC are written in pencil. As we are so often reminded in life: things change.
I hope that this post, if nothing else, will bring you to Career Services for a resume review or job search. Please do not allow your future to rely on chance. A plan written in pencil is still a plan.
