Career seminars are offered
in the Spring and Fall semesters – the
topics include resume preparation, interviewing
skills, etiquette (business and dining), job
search tools and techniques. The seminars are
designed to build your skills for a successful
job search when your program of study is completed.
Students are encouraged to participate in these
seminars throughout their tenure at Southwestern
Community College.
 James
Wallace, a student in SCCs Culinary Technology
program, won this IPod last week when he attended
the Office Politics career seminar. James told
Patty Kirkley, SCC's career counselor that he
had never won anything. He had already had two
people asked to buy his IPod, but he isn't ready
to sell! Great prizes at every seminar. IPod
was donated by Linda and Boyd Sossoman, Radio
Shack in Sylva and Cashiers
