SUNY Oswego Career Services announced on Sept. 22 via email their annual Suit-Up Event in collaboration with JCPenny.
The event, which will take place Oct. 1-3, offers students coupon codes and discounts on professional attire from JCPenny, including suits, belts, shoes, ties and slacks.
In addition to clothes, students can also buy luggage, shoes, jewelry and handbags using the coupons, according to the email.
Some brands that will be included in the sale are Worthington, Liz Claiborne, Ryegrass and Nicole Miller. A full list of apparel and accessories can be seen from the link included in the email.
Career Services has also announced many events throughout the semester with two career and internship fairs are planned for October. The first, which is in-person in Marano Campus Center Swetman Gym, is Oct. 13 from four to six p.m. and the second is virtual via Handshake on Oct. 14 from 11 to one p.m.
Career Services is also offering two Graduate School Fairs later in the month. The first is scheduled for Oct. 20 from 11 to one p.m. also in Swetman Gym and the second is Oct 27. From four to seven p.m. and is virtual over Handshake.
After COVID-19 shut down most in-person campus activities, Career Services also stresses in the email that they are open for walk in and scheduled appointments face to face.
“Open daily for assistance with resumes, cover letters, internship and job searching, graduate school research, and more!” the email states.
They also stress that if students are not comfortable with meeting in person, they can make virtual appointments or visit virtual walk-in hours Monday-Thursday 1-2:30 p.m. and Wednesday-Thursday 7-8 p.m. The Zoom link can be found in the email as well as on their website.
The email also shared that Career Services offers professional headshot workshops and opportunities. It encourages students who take advantage of the clothing sale through JCPenny to “update that professional headshot” through LinkedIn Photo Studio, which is available to use via appointment.
Career Services is back and open for all programs which can be found on their website. With less restrictions and more events, “It’s never too early or too late to focus on your career planning and development.”
