Changes set for salaried staff employment process

     The employment process for salaried staff will change effective July
1, according to Maxine Colm, vice president for employee relations.
Applicants for salaried staff positions will submit a resume to the
employment office, rather than complete the University's standard
employment application form.
     "I am pleased to implement this change," Colm said, "because it
provides a consistent application process for both professional and
salaried staff. The Salaried Staff Constituent Group of the Commission on
the Status of Women recommended the change, and it was supported by the
Salaried Staff Advisory Council."
     Colm added that resume writing is an important element of the career
development process. She anticipates that as salaried staff engage in
resume preparation, they will also seek support from Employee Services when
exploring other career opportunities.
     Salaried staff will be encouraged to keep a current resume on file
with the Employment Office. It can then be forwarded to the hiring unit
when an individual wishes to be considered for a position.
     Workshops will be offered over the coming weeks to assist salaried
staff interested in developing or updating their resumes. (See list that
follows.) All salaried staff are encouraged to attend at least one of these
presentations.
     Developing Your Resume is an introduction to resume writing. The
workshop focuses on the resume as an employment tool, looks at different
resume styles and provides tips on which information to include.
Participants will use an outline to assist in preparing a resume.
     Updating Your Resume is designed for individuals who have a resume.
Discussion will focus on enhancing style, content and language.
Participants must bring a copy of their resume to the session.
     To insure individual attention, each workshop will be limited to 15
participants. To register, contact Employee Development at 831-8725 or via
e-mail to Empldevreg@mvs.udel.edu.
