This job board has been created to help you in your search for employment. Remember that businesses desire to hire individuals who are punctual, responsible and those who will represent their organization and businesses well. When you are applying for a job, it is always in your best interest to include a cover letter (letter of introduction) and resume along with your employment application. You should dress nicely (business casual) when you deliver your application. Always ask for a hiring manager, so you have the opportunity to introduce yourself when you drop off your application (unless otherwise noted in a job posting). If you have questions about applying for a job, writing a resume or cover letter, please stop by the College and Career Center and see Ayla.
