TULSA – September is all about workshops, career development and networking opportunities during Cowboy Career Month at OSU-Tulsa.

Patti Schmigle, OSU-Tulsa Career Services coordinator, said there are numerous activities planned for students at any stage of their college career or job search.

“Our workshops, résumé sessions and career fairs are designed to help prepare students making the transition from classroom to career and OSU alumni who want to advance their career,” Schmigle said. “It’s a great opportunity for participants to freshen up their interview and communication skills, as well as network with potential employers.”

Schmigle said Career Services is offering multiple sessions of most the workshops on varying days of the week and at different times, including lunch hours and evenings, to maximize the opportunities for students and alumni to attend.

Career Month activities kick off on Tuesday, Sept. 8 with “Résumé Doctor,” a one-on-one résumé review and critique session where participants will learn how to maximize strengths and receive advice on content and formatting. Consultants will be available in North Hall 130 from noon to 7 p.m. An identical session will take place at the same time and location on Monday, Sept. 28. Consultations are by walk-in appointment only.

A one-hour career fair preparation workshop will take place on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 5:30 p.m. in the Tulsa Room, located next to the OSU-Tulsa Book Store. Participants will learn what to bring, how to dress and what to say to make the most of their career fair experience.
