For some seniors, education is still primary and graduate schools are the next stop. For others the job market awaits, a job market that is not par- ticularly inviting in these recessionary times. Without being fully aware of it, many students have benefitted not only from the classroom education that CLC provides, but from the special environment that education takes place in. Being a commuter school, the lack of a defined campus life at CLC prepares the graduate for the harsh realities of the big city business community instead of anesthetizing students with the fantasy-like world of the contained col- lege campus. Not that CLC is an unusually cruel school, but that those students who have been here for years, travelling to school and alter- nating classes with jobs, have been as close to the real world as school can be. And CLC has also attracted an increasing number of professionals seeking to broaden their backgrounds or even change then* careers. These professionals bring to the school and its classrooms firsthand ex- perience and insight that cannot be obtained from a textbook. While learning the essential theories, the student is also acquiring the practical knowledge about the job market that will prove even more valuable upon graduation. While the commuter school may have its share of drawbacks—a limited social environment and a lack of real school character—the long range as well as immediate benefits can prove to be a saving grace. CLC is an institution located in the heart of the worlds largest business community and an education here, not just in the classroom but with the diverse student body and the business community itself, gives the CLC graduate (hat head start over those arriving from the distant and sheltered college campus.

The Children's Place Will Be Recruiting At Fordham on February 17th

The Company: The Children's Place, which began as a single store in an entrepreneurial venture 14 years ago, is today the nation's largest chain of specialty clothing stores for children. Known in the retail industry as a progressive, dynamic organization, The Children's Place is still in the early stages of its growth, and it is actively recruiting men and women who can quickly prepare themselves to accept upper management responsibilities.

Growth and Strength: Our standards are high, but so are the chances for rapid advancement. Right now, The Children's Place has more than 90 stores in 15 states, and our current strategy calls for 30 to 50 new stores each year. That means we will probably double in size in two years, creating an immediate need for bright, aggressive, promotable executives.

Standards: What kind of men and women are we seeking for our executive development o program? We look for individuals who have proven themselves through high academic achievement, extra-curricular involvement, and successful . employment experiences and who are willing to make a strong commitment to a career in retailing.

Compensation: Starting salary levels are highly competitive, and the company has a salary review program designed to compensate employees in the light of their job performance. Benefits include employee discount, comprehensive medical/dental/life/vision insurance, and a tuition reimbursement program.

Interviews: You may sign up in Room 319 for an on-campus interview. Further information about The Children's Place is available at the placement office. If you are unable to see us when we are on campus, contact us directly by writing Ms. Debbie C. Littlejohn, Personnel Director, at our Pine Brook, N.J. headquarters.
