What do CEO's do?

• Program outreach- CEOs research, create, and present career programs to residence halls, student clubs and organizations, GHTH 100 and IS 202 classes.
• Career Resource Center tours- CEOs conduct weekly tours of the Resource Center. They develop expertise in the use of career books and websites, as well as the FOCUS online career planning program, and answer students' questions regarding these resources.
• Employer relations- CEOs interact with employers participating in the On-Campus Interviewing Program, serving as ambassadors of the CAP office during employers' recruiting visits.
• Special events- CEOs assist with the staffing of special events, interacting with students, as well as employer representatives. CEOs are representing the CAP office this year at: Resume Round-Up, Fall and Spring Career Fairs, Teacher Recruitment Day, Majors Fair, Community Service-Learning Fair, Undeclared Expo, Student Organization Night, and the Young Women's Leadership Conference.

This might be the right opportunity for you, if you want to...

• Gain experience in programming and campus outreach.
• Improve your public speaking skills.
• Help your fellow students with major and career decisions (and receive assistance with your own decision-making and job, internship, or graduate school search in the process).
• Develop relevant experiences to add to your resume.
• Feel comfortable interacting with employers.
• Learn about JMU's career services first-hand.
• And above all- you're enthusiastic, dedicated, and want to become more involved at JMU.
