Thirteen sophomores attended Sophomore Night Live! We spent a bit of time reviewing the resources and programs available through the Career Center for sophomores, such as help with choosing a major, learning what can be done with different majors, finding internships, and preparing resumes and cover letters. The sophomores then grabbed some pizza, and participated in the Holland Party to help them identify majors or occupations.

Attendees then had the opportunity to browse through the Resource Room, set up follow up appointments or ask questions.

If you were unable to attend Sophomore Night Live, check out the "Four Year Plan" for a list of suggested activities for your sophomore year. (A version of this handout was given out during the program.)

Would you feel comfortable with an employer reading what's on your Facebook, MySpace or other social networking profile? According to a recent CollegeRecruiter, article, increasing numbers of employers are researching candidate backgrounds using both traditional methods, such as criminal background checks and references, and newer sources, such as social networking sites.

How do you feel about this employer practice? Do you think employers should use whatever means necessary to select the best candidates? Do you feel employers should stick with more traditional methods for checking candidate backgrounds?

Whatever your opinion on this subject happens to be, I would encourage you to be cautious about what information you post about yourself in public forums. At the very least, make sure you've adjusted your privacy settings to the highest possible level.
