I just got finished checking out Career Services on Berkeley College blackboard. I didn't know that there was a career fair going on, so I may have missed out on some really good choices. But now that I know that these fairs happen periodically, I'll definitely be checking Career Services on a more regular basis. Now that I've acquired some additional skills, I am better able to market myself in this merciless job market. Only the strong survive, and you have to have strong writing and computer/technical skills, along with a strong work ethic, to survive.

The tips on what to wear for interviews is also helpful, as many people today do not seem to know how to dress for success. They feel that their skills are the most important thing. To some degree, this is true; however, the way you present yourself to your prospective employer and your prospective customers is the way you will be perceived to work and handle situations. So if you're seated before your prospective employer neatly dressed, hair combed, shoes shined, teeth brushed, and sit erect and poised, even if you shouldn't get the position, the employer may well remember you if he or she has another position in mind. However, if you come to a job interview with torn bits of clothing, hair uncombed, unwashed, and looking totally disheveled, your interview won't last very long. In fact, you may hear those fatal words: Don't call us; we'll call you. Of course, other factors could play a part in your not succeeding in the interview, but don't let your appearance close the door before you even open your mouth.
