Met an interesting person at Wednesday's York College career expo.
His name was Andrew Snyder, a 2008 graduate of the college who majored in professional writing.
Snyder landed a job at Sprint, the communications services company, after graduation.
But that's not his dream job. Therefore, Snyder was back at his alma mater Wednesday to check out the roughly 60 employers looking to fill all types of positions.
It's not unusual to see alumni reach out to the college to tap its career services resources, said Beverly Evans, who heads the college's career services office.
Those alums might e-mail questions to the office or send in their resume for a review, Evans said during a recent interview.
Therefore, it wasn't surprising to see Snyder scouring the employers' displays at the college's Grumbacher Center Wednesday.
Snyder picked up some information about taking a civil service test, because he may be interested in pursuing a government job.
He said his position at Sprint is a "decent job," but he is looking for something more fitting to his major, professional writing.
"I just want to be happy," Snyder said. "I want to do something I enjoy and get paid for it."
Hi Kevin,
Great job and ideas with the blog! I will be a frequent reader of this as well. Is it OK to send in entrepreneur tips for your readers?
Additionally, I have been involved with a man from Massachusetts on property tax abatement (property tax reduction) and have put together a site known as the Home Tax Guide (www.hometaxguide.com). It is a way for homeowners to reduce their property taxes since the value of their homes have dropped since the sub-prime issue started. It is a nationwide program since York County may not have been impacted to the degree other parts of the country have.
Thank you for all you are doing!
