Every semester Pittsburg State offers a wide variety of special events to students, all
designed at getting them better prepared for their professional careers after graduation.
One of those special events is the Career Makeover. It offers students everything from
shoe shining to haircuts, all aimed at making that first impression the best it possibly
can be. David Hogard- “The job search is more than
just a resume, an interview and a job offer. Even though that’s vitally important we
want to again, help and educate our students that there’s more to it, more to that first
impression and these things are very important when it comes to the job search.”
On top of getting a shoe shine and a haircut, students could also learn how to tie a tie,
get their resume evaluated, or get a mani-cure, on top of that they could attend several different
breakout sessions. Overall, students didn’t mind investing in their future and really
took advantage of Career Makeover. David Kilby- “Well so far it’s, it’s
been alright especially for the money. It’s been a five dollar down payment to, to attend
this which so far and for what’s gonna be ahead definitely worth the bargain and a lot
of the career services that PSU has offered have been extremely helpful as far as like
etiquette and general know how as far as careers are concerned.”
