Recruiting coordinator departs
by Meredith Jenkins
THRESHER STAFF
Career Services Recruiting Co-
ordinator Joyce Palumbo will leave
the Career Services Center in Janu-
ary to begin working for Andersen
Consulting.
Palumbo (Baker '98) announced
Monday that she had accepted a
position with the company, which
will be renamed Accenture Consult-
ing in January.
Palumbo said there were many
reasons for her resignation, a major
one being that she was looking for a
new challenge after six and a half
years at Rice.
"I love working at Rice," Palumbo
said. "I was a student here, gradu-
ated from here. I love working at the
Career Center. 1 love this office. But
it's time for me to leave the Owls'
nest."
As recruiting coordinator,
Palumbo handles all on-campus re-
cruiting. More than 500 students and
more than 200 employers are in-
volved in her recruiting programs.
"What I'll miss about the position
is working with the students most of
all and several of the employers I've
gotten to know over the past two and
a half years," Palumbo said.
"I'll miss the environment work-
ing here in the Career Services Cen-
ter. I'll miss everyone in this office.
Everyone in this office is so great
and so supportive. It is so hard to
leave," she said.
Palumbo said working in Career
Services has changed her views on
the opportunities available to all stu-
dents.
"I never set foot in this office as
an undergraduate," Palumbo said.
"1 thought, 'I'm an English major
and they can't help me,' which was
so wrong. After working here I un-
derstand that."
Palumbo said she wanted to as-
sure students looking for jobs this
fall or next spring that her resigna-
tion would not affect on-campus re-
cruiting.
"It's under control," Palumbo
said. "Everyone in this office is well-
poised to make changes and handle
the situation minus a staff mem-
ber."
Palumbo said she is excited about
her position at Andersen, which will
involve process consulting.
"I'm moving into consulting,
something completely different from
what I'm doing right now," Palumbo
said. "It's going to give me a lot of
good experience with computer tech-
nology, Web site development and
Web site strategies. It's going to be
a great learning experience, and I'm
really looking forward to it."
