The Career Services Network is another avenue available to us via the Student Blackboard. It has a wealth of information regarding full-and-part-time positions that we can obtain while working toward our various degrees. I haven't actually had a chance to really search it thoroughly, but I intend to. There really seems to be a wealth of information regarding how to become a manager, mentoring as a tool for success, and how our Internet profiles via MySpace, Facebook, and others can help us in our career goals (finally obtaining that perfect position at some point in our career).

The CSN also offers information on various internships that students could partake in; I did not realize that you could inquire about using your own employer for possible internships. This would be particularly helpful for those students (such as myself) who may not necessarily want to leave their employers, but may want to advance within the company itself. There are also valuable resume writing skills to be had. A Resume Writing Handbook is available to download and print off the computer for your own personal reference. So, it would be in our best interests to take advantage of EVERY avenue Berkeley College offers us via the Blackboard. I intend to take advantage of this one fully.
