Blogs give job advice
By Reynolds Fuller / Staff Writer | April 29Auburn University's Career Development Services has developed a blog called Tigers Prepare to help students find jobs upon college graduation.The Web site address is tigersprepare.blogspot.com."It's up-to-date ways that students can approach their job search strategically, proactively, to give them information and opinions about writing resumes, cover letters and how to prepare for maybe some of the events that we've had on campus," said Katie Mantooth, a Career Development Services career counselor.The blog was started last summer as a way to get information out to students in a more casual, conversational fashion.Mantooth said depending on the article, it may even be humorous.Mantooth said they wanted to be able to offer more than just their tip sheets to help advise students."It's just kind of the questions we get a lot and trying to put some good information out there that's not just regurgitation of our tip sheet that we have," Mantooth said.
