The former recruiter/employment coordinator for open positions at
the Swift & Company plant in Louisville is a new Career Counselor
in theUlmer Center.
"I know what employers are looking for in interviews and resumes, so
I think I can bring students a valuable outside perspective whether
it's a full-time position or an internship they're looking for,"she
said.
Hisey graduated from the College of Business and Public
Administration with a Masters's of Public Administration in 2003. She
worked as a graduate research assistant in the CBPA from 2001-2002 and
as human resource intern at Brown-Forman Corp. during the summer of
2002.
Immediately prior to joining U of L, at Swift she had responsibility
for college relations and other HR duties, including serving as liaison
for job applicants from the University of Kentucky, Purdue University
and Ohio State University.
"Both of my parents work at U of L, so I kind of grew up here. It's
been one of my dreams to come back," she said. Her measure of success
at her new position, she said, will be the comments of students who
successfully landed jobs with her assistance. (Her father, Gerald
Sklare , is a professor in the School of Education; her mother, Libby
Leggett , is director of graduate school admissions.)
Hisey is in Room #80 in the Ulmer Center. Her phone number is 852-6967.
