<\/a>Jamilah Vaughn, Sonni Casey and Liz Carroll<\/strong> For college students and recent college graduates, finding an internship or even an entry-level job isn\u2019t easy to come by in this down economy. With the help of Jackson State University\u2019s Career Services Center, the search may be a little easier.<\/p>\n The center held an open house Aug. 25 in Reddix Hall to help students register for Tigers2Work. The program started in 2006 as an online manager that allows JSU students and alumni to electronically submit resumes to employers, as well as search for internships, jobs and employer information.<\/p>\n \u201cTigers2Work is very important to take part in especially with the economy because it lends a helping hand,\u201d said Brian Bland, a junior business administration major.<\/p>\n Being able to provide students with career opportunities is important to the Career Services Center staff.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not a placement center; we are a one-stop resource center,\u201d said LaShanda Jordan, director. \u201cOur job is to help students prepare, teach them interview skills and act as a virtual conduit between them and potential employers.\u201d<\/p>\n LaVenita Cottrell, assistant director, said, \u201cWe have recruiters who are looking for them. We want students to take advantage of the services that we offer them.\u201d<\/p>\n JSU senior John Rancifer, an aspiring attorney who attended the open house as part of a class assignment, said he didn\u2019t know JSU had a career center.<\/p>\n
