Etiquette Lunch and Career Workshop a Success!

Last Friday, February 20th eight Dallas Campus students took advantage of a 3-hour long career preparation workshop held on campus. The participants learned about job searching, writing resumes, approaching employers at the career fair, dressing for success and finally dining etiquette. This is an event that is held every semester a couple of weeks before the career fair and gives students an opportunity to ask questions and get ready to have a successful time at the career fair. The participants this year included juniors and seniors with varied majors and career plans. Everyone that attended indicated that they got something out of the workshop and that they would attend another Student Development workshop.



The lunch portion was catered by A Different Plate catering and cafe of Lancaster, TX. Chef Carlos (owner) prepared a wonderful 5 course meal (pictured above) including an appetizer, soup, salad, main entree, and dessert.




Dr. Greta Davis presented the etiquette portion and answered questions regarding the do's and don'ts of dining etiquette. It is safe to say that everyone learned something from her well presented information! Be sure to watch for this event again in the Fall!
