Inspire, Winter 2005

In keeping with current trends, the career services office has been taking twists and turns to maximize its services available to students and alumni. In many areas, the office has revolutionized its resources and procedures, such as education credential files, online career testing, online resumes, and job resources. As of January 31, 2006, the career services office will no longer be keeping education credentials on file. This is a decision that the office has made along with Dr. Steve Gruber, chair of the education department. Because students are now creating portfolios with credential files included, it is not necessary to keep these in the office. Alumni may access these files via mail by simply requesting it along with a current address for accurate mailing. All requests must be made on or before January 31, 2006, otherwise they will no longer be available. During this past September, the career services office partnered with Crown Financial Ministries to perform a beta test group of an online version of Career Direct. This version of the test allows students to save their results electronically instead of only receiving a hard copy. This resource is not yet available to everyone, but should be available within the year. Online resumes have already been a huge success at Cedarville University. The College Central Network is our main resource, and hundreds of students and alumni are accessing this particular network. More than 1,300 employers have registered on this site as well, seeking students and alumni of Cedarville to fill hundreds of available jobs. Every day, new employers and jobs are added to this network. If you or your company would like more information or would like to become more involved with these resources, please contact the career services office at 1-888-562-4811 or career@cedarville.edu . Students, employers, or alumni who would like to register for the College Central Network may do so online.
