My Pentultimate Blog and Leads List

As some of you may know, I have taken another job in education and will be leaving CSB after January 4, 2013.  Thus, the duties of maintaining a blog for you CSB grads and job seekers will fall to my very capable replacement, Lindsay Unger.  Interestingly enough, Lindsay is a CSB graduate, who then went on to get her bachelor's degree.  I feel very good about leaving my students--those of you who have graduated--and the current CSB students with Lindsay, for I know you will be in very good hands.

Additionally, if I have served as a reference for you, and you would like to keep me as a reference, please contact me with a private message in Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/tim.csbyorkcampus) or by sending me an email at tbarshinger@csb.edu (before January 4, 2013), and I will share my new contact information.  I am more than willing to remain a reference and to continue supporting you in your career. 

Please note that will post a final blog posting tomorrow, simply to create a link to Lindsay's job seekers' blog. 

It has been my pleasure to work with all of you during my tenure at CSB.  I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the opportunity to meet and work with so many interesting people.  The experience has taught me, enlightened me, challenged me, and fulfilled me.  I thank all of you for sharing a little part of yourselves in the process.

Two Congratulations and Monday's Leads

Before we jump into Monday's Leads, I wanted to take a moment to congratulate two CSB graduates on new jobs.

First, congratulations to Tiffany Poe!  Tiffany found out last week that she is getting hired by her internship site and will be working as a medical office secretary!

Next, congratulations are also extended to Charla Kohler.  Charla is the prime example of perseverance paying off.  She has worked in a number of jobs that weren't her "dream job," but she kept plugging away and just found out last week that she has gotten a full time job as a medical assistant.  None of that would have been possible if Charla hadn't kept trying...or if she had given up on her dream.

Way to go, Ladies!  We're very proud of you!
