As an employee of Career Services, I post part-time jobs as they come in to the office. Jobs tend toward those rather mundane tasks awarded to college students: babysitting, cleaning, and tutoring. However, what might appear mundane may actually be more complex than it seems.
An employer recently sent in a listing for a babysitting position, stating that he had a young daughter in need of care while he was abroad. When an applicant contacted the employer, he stated that he needed someone to pick up and mail packages to addresses that he would provide. The job differed from what was posted on our site and had to be taken down.
Before applying for any job, make sure you know the requirements of the job. If it seems too good to be true, chances are good that it is. A job that offers unusually high wages, requires a deposit for anything other than uniforms or training, or has ambiguous wording is probably a scam. Always research the position before agreeing to anything.
When looking for employment, Career Services is the place to start!

Purdue Big Ten+ and IUPUI Graduate School Expo
This year, I am rooming with a good friend of mine who is a Senior English major. Her plan is to go to Graduate School to receive a degree in History and/or Anthropology. She wishes to become a Museum Curator, which requires that she receive a graduate degree.
IUPUI (Indiana University, Purdue University Indianapolis) is hosting a Graduate Expo September 21, 2011 from 9 A.M. to 3 P.M. at the IUPUI Campus Center. Registration is free and a variety of Graduate programs will be represented from Illinois, Kentucky, and Indiana. I hope to attend with my roommate, who may find the perfect fit in a Graduate program. (I may even find my future Graduate School program as well. . . )
On September 25 and 26, Purdue will be hosting the Big Ten+ Graduate School Expo. There is a fee of thrity-five dollars for those who are preregistered and forty for those who register at the door. A variety of graduate programs will be represented at the Expo, with a concentration on Mathematics, Sciences, Technology, and Engineering. However, other concentrations will be represented as well.
Attending such a program allows those considering Graduate School to learn more about the institutions and the application requirements. Each graduate school will be looking for different abilities in promising students, so building networks among administrators and representatives can boost a student's admission potential.
