Guest Speaker ( Peggy Collins Feerehy)

Our the current Director of Career Services and, I really enjoyed the things she talked about. She gave great insight on her experiences with students trying to find employment. Some main points that I recalled were things such as the two types of resume's: chronological which is the highest accepted one at 80%, and a functional resume. She spoke about the importance of being appropriately dressed for a career fair and or job fair. I really found it helpful when she discussed the elevator speech which is something that will catch an employers attention when you discuss your stengths and the things that make you unique and want employers to hire you. I also learned the importance of haveing professional references as well and making sure that the people you use as references. I really enjoyed this speaker because it helped me to really understand the importance of the things she discussed and I plan to really use the information I attained to the best of my abilities when searching for the right job and how to go about getting that job.
