BCCC Spotlight the Employer continued ...
1Team Events representative, Lance Dennis, revisited for Spotlight the Employer on Thursday, September 19. He highlighted all the events and that will take place during the week of the Super Bowl and encouraged students to apply to work for the week-long NFL Experience event. Students can gain valuable experience in hosting welcome committees and managing volunteer teams and can improve their leadership skills by heading up the sports experiences for tourists and football enthusiasts during the largest sporting event of the year. 
Leigh Rickel, representing Northwestern Mutual, LLC of New Orleans, hosted the Spotlight the Employer luncheon in Kirschman Hall on September 24. Many students eagerly attended this session to learn more about the benefits of NW Mutual internships. As Northwestern's college recruiter, Rickel seeks interns each year, and this internship opportunity is consistently one of the most fruitful for HBCOBA undergraduates interested in finance, insurance and accounting.
Jessica Herring, representative and recruiter for Waffle House, Inc., presented on Pathways to Waffle House Management on September 26. Students interested in management and hospitality learned more about restaurant management, disaster management, community outreach and more. 
Herring hosts Spotlights each semester to bring knowledge to students, and the BCCC is thankful for her support and the motivation and opportunities she gives to HBCOBA students!
On September 26, the college held Resumania, our resume review event where students can have their resumes reviewed by professionals, including instructor Gordon Payne, instructor Jaimee Carreras, Dr. Cherie Trumbach and others. Students were given detailed, individual attention and suggestions to proofread, improve and expand their resumes.
Though “Resumania” only occurs once each semester, the BCCC is always available to aid students in improving their resumes.
Hancock Whitney Bank hosted the October 1 Spotlight event, where they discussed internship opportunities and careers in the banking industry.
