GWSB Undergraduate Newsletter

Don't miss the chance to see your friends, professors and deans. Great food, live music, gifts and a champagne toast are all apart of the evening!! Since we can't handle registrations at the door, please stop by Duquès 455 or 456 by noon Thursday to sign up!

Alyssa Greco, who will graduate with a Bachelor of Business Administration (dual concentration in Sport, Event, and Hospitality Management and Marketing) this May, was selected to attend an NBA job fair. The all expense paid 3-day event took place at the Millennium Biltmore in downtown Los Angeles. Greco says, "Attending the NBA Teams Job Fair was an incredible opportunity to showcase my talent and education to personnel from around the league. GWSB has provided me with the tools and confidence to feel that I'm as well, if not better, prepared than the competition applying to the same positions as myself."

While at GWSB, Alyssa managed the men’s basketball team. She became the team’s head manager in the spring of 2006. During the past two summers, she has engaged in multiple internships in DC with the Washington Wizards and Mystics in the marketing and customer service departments. Alyssa's future goal is to gain employment in the professional basketball industry.

Attention: Seniors preparing for job search and Juniors seeking spring or summer Internships

The newest technology at the Career Center is INTERVIEWSTREAM, a computerized interview training program. It can be accessed at the Career Center in Duques 560 or at home (using a webcam). How does it work? A recruiter (on tape) pitches interview questions at you and the webcam records your responses. You can repeat your response several times or proceed to another question. A self-evaluation allows you to rate your performance on non-verbal communication (such as eye contact, voice, posture and etiquette) as well as verbal communication (such as impressive introduction, clarity of expression, use of proper grammar, and ability to talk about skills.)

Find out more about this on GWorkSB.com It is especially recommended for Seniors who are now preparing for job interviews and Juniors seeking Spring or Summer Internships.

If you have any questions on resume writing, internships, jobs and other career oriented questions, please contact Sylvan von Burg at 202-994-3692.
