Alum Success

Anna Wilson

"Lake State is a local University that gave me the option to earn my education while be located close to my family.  My short-term goal is to gain as much experience as possible in the community and to possibly continue my education toward a Masters Degree.  I’d like to continue my work within the city and take advantage of opportunities to be more involved in local politics.  In the long term, after I’ve made myself as competitive as possible the marketing field, I’d like to get a job at a medium to large size company and work more with individual products or brands as opposed to marketing a company itself."

" Currently I am a Board Member on the Sault Ste. Marie Downtown Development Authority, in which my marketing background has been beneficial.  Also, I work with the International 500 Snowmobile race as the Chairperson of the Non-Race Events Committee and I work in the pits doing timing for the race and other tasks.  I am studying snowmobile mechanics to eventually become a race official or snowmobile technician.  I compete on the Soo Co-op Credit Union bowling team and I’m continually involving myself in various community events."

Scannable Resumes

Content

Recruiters and managers access the resume database in many ways, searching for applicants with specific experience. When searching ..., they search for key words, usually nouns, such as, writer, accountant, or biologist. The computer system will extract the words and information from your resume, so it is important to include the following:

1. A statement of employment objective indicating the type of position sought.
2. A summary of employment history describing experience relevant to the employment objective.
3. A summary of educational background indicating degrees earned and degree majors.
(See Example)


To submit a resume to the Department of Civil Service, you must include a short form. Please contact your local placement office or Office of Michigan Works for a copy. Those persons outside of Michigan, contact your State Employment Office for availability. Thank you, Lake Superior State University Center for Career and Employment Services, CANaLS.

What made Rachel's Lake Superior State experience so unique was the practical research she did with top-notch faculty.

"I really enjoyed working with environmental chemistry professor Judy Westrick and biologist Deb Stai," Rachel says. "For my senior project, we evaluated a lab method for cultivating a fungus that causes infections in humans."
