We now have 130 companies signed up for the event. Companies are hiring for student and career positions as well as for experienced professionals. I can get us to the day of the event but the day of the event requires the help of 120+ students and alumni.  You can sign up very easily by clicking on the "Help Sign-up Career Day 2008" showing at the top of the picture in the center of the Career Services Office web page at http://www.ecs.csus.edu/career. 

I am asking people to sign up for just one hour.  That is all it takes if we can get everyone to help.  6 days before the event I will be sending email to all of the volunteers with detailed instructions. This is what you will find on my link.

Setup:
Will help the companies from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. on Career Day with any setup they require.
This section is full

Door People:
Greet the students and alumni at the door throughout the day. Distribute seminar info and company lists to attendees.
(Students sign up in 1-hour increments)

Career Day 2008, On Monday, March 10, 2008 now has 124 companies registered!

COMPANIES ARE HIRING FOR STUDENT AND CAREER POSITIONS!

List of Companies is at http://www.ecs.csus.edu/career.

Check out the list on our web site!!!  There is something for everyone-FRESHMEN THROUGH GRAD STUDENTS AND ALUMNI!!! 

We survey these companies about hiring plans and they have reported a total of 3607 openings!!!

Be sure to get your resume, portfolio, and interview outfit before then... You have plenty of warning!

All four sections of my 1 unit Career Planning Class EEE/CE/ME 194 and CS 192 all have spaces for students who want to add! 

THE OUTLOOK:

I expect hiring to continue at least thorough the first half of 2008.  The economy is contracting rapidly though it does not seem to be evenly spread across all sectors.  Some segments are harder hit.  The economy is like musical chairs, when the music stops, you want to have a seat!  Don’t waste time procrastinating!  Get in before things slow down.  Use Career Day 2008 to get a job- student or career!!!

DO NOT MISS THIS EVENT!  PREPARE!  BE THERE!    

Last week the CSUS Construction Management student team won big time at the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) competition in Reno. Six CSUS CM student teams were sponsored by the Sacramento Construction Management Education Foundation (SCMEF) at the event. The teams were coached by industry partners and CSUS faculty members. The teams were judged on a variety of construction management skills including estimating, bidding, planning, scheduling, presentation, creativity, and construction techniques.

The event included approximately 1000 students from all over the Western US. "The experience definitely increased the enthusiasm and pride of students in the CM program, according to Mike Anderson, Assistant Professor of Construction Management. "Many of the students were first time participants and they worked incredibly well as a team. Our mechanical team, competing for the first time in this division, placed first in the nation! They beat teams from USC, UW, Oregon St., CalPoly SLO, Chico, Long Beach, BYU, ASU, Cal, and Stanford to name a few. They got a chance to solve real construction projects over a 20 hour period. They build a project, conceptually, putting together a comprehensive proposal and a deliver a project presentation."

According to Henry Meier, CM Alum and Senior Project Manager with HMH Builders, the winning teams will be competing in the national competition in Las Vegas Nevada on March 9th through the 12th at the ASC-AGC event. "We had three wins- commercial, design-build, and mechanical captured first place victories. This is unprecedented! It speaks to the quality of the students and the academic programs at CSUS. No other college in the competition won as many first place honors as CSUS!"

Keith Bishart, CM Program Coordinator, attributes the CSUS team’s success to an extremely strong partnership between students, industry and faculty. "Sac State’s CM program is a demanding program, requiring a pretty sturdy student, but the combination of academic rigor and regular interaction with industry are critical elements to the program’s success."

Operations Industrial Engineer opportunities   
 
The U.S. Postal Service has always been a leader in applying the knowledge and skills of Industrial Engineers in operations, engineering, logistics and Headquarters functions.
In support of our efforts to standardize and continuously improve operations, the Postal Service has begun a major expansion of its Industrial Engineer resources through the Operations Industrial Engineer (OIE) initiative.
Duties of newly recruited OIEs will include:

Working with plant managers as a key member of the management team to develop and implement process changes to improve service, cost and equipment performance
Applying industrial engineering, Lean Six Sigma and continuous-improvement methodologies to improve mail flow from collection to processing to delivery
Leading improvement projects that cover mail flow, equipment performance, employee scheduling and staffing, production planning and control, workroom floor layout, methods improvements and value stream mapping

Since processing and distribution operations are performed primarily between 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., OIE work schedules will be during this operational window. 
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in engineering from an ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology) institution required.
Positions are either EAS-21 or EAS-22 depending on location, with salaries ranging from $49,490 to $90,459.
