Is
this a good or bad objective??
-“While I am open to any uses of my educational
achievements, I am decidedly disposed that the task of the
new career-related responsibility be so oriented as to at least partially
address or configure and to ultimately lead to the application of
more rarefied and challenging facets of financial management as the major
sphere of the responsibility of the stated position.”

Concerning Addressing KSA's:
(From Karen Burns, HR Director, National Park Service)
"My suggestion was to do one page per KSA. I don't think you could
adequately answer all of the KSAs on one page. I've never seen a KSA
response in the format (CARC)of the example below. But the "actions" they
specify in there are not different answers to different KSAs, they are
actions on the KSA of communicating orally. You do not need to use that
format. In fact, I think most students would find that format difficult. If
they want to do it that way, fine, but it's not necessary. Some vacancy
announcements have up to 6 KSAs and there would be no way that you could
answer all of them on one page. I think they meant one page per KSA.

Student
Response:
Mr. Endicott,
First let me say...wow I am so happy that the Steelers won the Superbowl. I
bet you are just as happy as I am!!!!!!!!!!!!Secondly, on January 29 I was
offered the position of Lead Behavior Counselor with Mary T. Inc (MD) and I
accepted. I thought you would be interested to know this so you can tell
your students in the career class that it is indeed possible to get a job in
the tough economic time as long as you work hard and don't expect $50,000. I
am working with traumatic brain injuries and so far it is a very rewarding
job. I have accepted that money isn't the important thing right now; the
most important topic is to get your foot in the door and ride out the tough
times. I hope to hear from you soon and wish you a great semester!

More than two-thirds of employers characterize the job
market for the Class of 2010 as just “fair,” according
to results of NACE’s Job Outlook 2010 .
In comparison, last year at this time, slightly more
than one-quarter gave the job market such a rating.
In addition, the percentage of employers giving a
rating of “poor” has grown tremendously over last
year. Whereas less than 1 percent rated the job market
for the Class of 2009 as “poor,” nearly 16 percent
characterize the job market for the Class of 2010 as
“poor.”
Earlier, through NACE’s Job Outlook 2010 Fall Preview
survey, conducted in August, employers projected a 7
percent decline in college hiring, but current survey
results show most expect to keep a close eye on their
hiring needs: Half of responding employers said they
plan to review their college hiring on a quarterly
basis, and more than one-quarter will check their
needs monthly.
