Before Your Phone Interview

I just wanted to give you a heads up just in case you get a phone interview. From what I have heard from other students, I would recommend reviewing the command lines for Linux before your interview.

Good luck.

Google Representatives

FYI

I thought you would like to know there will be representatives from Google at your graduation and at the Job Fair.

Have a great Wednesday. :)

Update

Hi,

I have faxed in 30 resume packets to Google and 3 packets to Catawba Valley Medical Center. Please let me know if you are contacted by either of these employers or if you accept other employment. If you have an employer you would like for me to fax your packet to, please let me know.

Have a great day.

Job Opportunities

Catawba Valley Medical Center has several jobs available in IT. Dana has spoken with HR and they are interested in hearing from our IT Institute Graduates and reviewing their portfolios. :) Please visit www.catawbavalleymc.org to see a list of the openings.

If you are interested in applying for any of the openings, please let me know which one(s) and I will send in your resume.

Hope you have a great day.

Update

Hey guys,

Thanks for all of you who have completed the survey. If you haven’t completed the survey, please take a minute to let us know what you think.

We have scheduled the Saturday sections with Errol. We will meet from 9:00 to 1:00 September 8th, 15th and 22nd. We could have the classes until 3:30 and finish up in three Saturdays if the group prefers. If we only go until 1:00, I will let you know the dates for October later. Since these are additional hours, you will still be able to graduate on 10/8 even if we haven’t finished the final 20 hours. Just send me an email to let me know what you prefer to do as far as the time (dbean@cccti.edu).

Both evening classes and the day class that met from 8:00 to 10:00 are invited to attend these sessions. If the first day class wants to come, they are welcome too. Tentatively, 9/22 will be held in Errol’s class at Watauga High School.

I sent in the resumes I had today around 7:00 p.m. Yeah!!! I am still missing a few resumes. If you haven’t sent in your resume, please send it to me tomorrow and I will fax it in to Google.

Have a great day. :)

Portfolios

I have had several questions concerning Portfolios and I wanted to provide some clarification.

I am taking care of your Portfolio to send to Google.

The Portfolio you are responsible for should include:

· Career Readiness Certificate Scores
o Score sheet and certificate
· Transcripts
o From all educational institutions you have attended
· Resume
o Evaluated by Dana Glenn in the JobLink
· Certificate of Completion of IT Institute - to be given out during the graduation ceremony
· Any Additional Certifications
o C+, etc.

You should take this Portfolio to your interviews with any IT Company.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,

I wanted to give you an update on happenings with the IT Institute.

I need the resumes for the first two day and evening classes by 8/15. Please make sure you have had Dana Glenn review your resume. The ones I have so far look good.

We are planning a Directions and IT Job Fair on 10/9 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Gym.

Graduation is set for 10/8 at 7:00 p.m. at the Civic Center. Please let me know if you plan to attend.

We are still working with Errol to schedule the dates for the final 20 hours. I will post the schedule as soon as I know.

I have had some feedback concerning students satisfaction with the IT Institute. To make sure we have an understanding of your feelings about the success of the institute, please complete a survey at Click Here to take survey.

If you have pictures you would like for me to post, please send them to dbean@cccti.edu. Have a great day!
