Hillary’s Race for the White House: The question isn’t whether Hillary Clinton can be elected as the nation’s first woman president, says Joan McLean, an OWU politics and government professor and one of the women who helped strategize Geraldine Ferraro’s 1984 vice presidential nomination. The question is under what dynamic. “There’s a difference between running for office and actually governing,” McLean says. “Hillary’s strength is in governing. Her challenge as she campaigns will be to make clear-cut statements. Hillary still is working out how to win the party nomination, win the election, and be ready to govern.”

Creating an Effective Resume: A successful resume must highlight relevant experience effectively and target the type of position you’re seeking, says Nancy Westfield, OWU’s assistant director of career services. To create a winning resume, emphasize skills that match the qualifications for the position. If you lack job experience, Westfield says, study-abroad participation or involvement in campus activities can signal that you are flexible and have developed leadership, communication, and teamwork skills. You also should use a professional-sounding e-mail address that you check frequently and proofread your resume carefully. Many employers are looking for ways to reject submissions, so make sure your resume is perfect.
