Mills, FSU’sCollegium Musicum, the Allegany HighSchool African Choir and the AfricanDrum Ensemble of Allegany High School.The presentation will be Tuesday, Nov.12, at 7:30 p.m. in the Performing ArtsCenter’s Pealer Recital Hall. The programis free and open to the public.

The people of South Africa made aunique commitment to the peacefulresolution of political change by way ofthe Truth and Reconciliation Commission(TRC). The TRC was established to createdialogue about the horrific eventssponsored by the former Apartheidregime so that the nation might heal anddevelop new policies for governance. Thetraditional music of the South Africanpeople has been present throughout theTRC process as well as in the memoirs ofNelson Mandela, South Africa’s first blackelected president. The singing andsharing of this tradition has been ahealing bond among South Africans andtheir neighbors around the world.

The FSU Collegium Musicum and theAllegany High School African Choir willdemonstrate traditional music from fourof the country’s nine ethnic languages.Both ensembles will be conducted byMills, a scholar of South African tradi-tional music who lived and worked in a

South Africantownship as amusic educa-tor andsinger.

Excerpts of“World MusicDrumming”will beperformed bythe AfricanDrum En-semble ofAllegany HighSchool, anddirected byFSU musiceducationstudent DavidMyers. Alongwith themusic, Millswill describethe social andcultural context of a South Africantownship, recounting conversations withSouth Africans and presenting photo-graphs and artifacts from South Africa.

Mills is an assistant professor of musiceducation at FSU. She recently taughtmusic to students in South African publicschools as part of UMCOLO: The KimberleyProject. The project, sponsored by theEastman School of Music, sent fourAmerican and Canadian educators to theGaleshewe township outside the diamondmining city of Kimberley.

The program is co-sponsored by theAllegany Arts Council, FSU Division ofPerforming Arts, FSU African-AmericanStudies Program and the FSU FacultyDevelopment and Sabbatical Committee.For more information, call Mills at x4119.

Message from the Officeof Human ResourcesTen Indicators of a Stellar Applicant

Error-free resume: Mistakes on aresume are a one-way ticket to thetrash. Typos, spelling mistakes orgrammatical errors can be symptomaticof a larger problem.

Knowledge of the company: Makesure your job candidate is prepared. Thecover letter or phone interview shouldgive an indication that the candidateknows about the University or theposition. A candidate’s knowledge ofcompany basics will distinguish thosewho are really interested from thosewho are applying to multiple jobs. Thosecandidates are the ones who are inter-ested in working for you. The time theytook to research these facts demon-strates that they are truly interested inyour company and not just waiting tojump on the first offer.

Specific accomplishments: Discernwhat the candidate has actually done,and cut through resume spin. Docandidates’ resumes reflect quantifiableaccomplishments (managed a $1.2million account and a team of 43engineers, for example) or is the resumejust packed with vague, general andunverifiable data? The more specific theinformation, the better the candidate.

History of growth: An excellent jobcandidate’s resume will illustrategrowth, not stagnation. The candidate’sdescription of previous jobs shoulddemonstrate growth, acceptance,responsibility and teamwork.

Compatibility: Even if a candidate hasa stellar resume, that doesn’t mean she isa perfect fit. Some interviewers focus somuch on the tangible skills of a candidate

that they forget to ensure the personwould be pleasant to work with, a teamplayer and able to fit into the company’sculture. The intangibles are often the mostimportant aspects of a candidate.

Organization: If a resume is cluttered,it could be your first clue to what thecandidate will be like on the job. Humanresources professionals say they want tosee precise bullet points, and clearexplanations of accomplishments. Ifcandidates can’t present themselves in anorganized way, then there’s a good chancethey won’t be together in the workplace.

Attitude: Candidates with a cheery,positive demeanor are more likely to beeasy to work with. Energy and a positiveapproach to the job are key in job appli-cants. If they have a positive approachand energy on the phone there is a goodchance they will have good attitude andenergy in the work environment.

Diversity of accomplishments:Though you want a candidate with goodexperience in your field, you also want awell-rounded worker who can do otherthings with ease – this is almost alwayspart of a new job. Read job descriptionscarefully and look for a broad range ofduties in their former job positions.

Personality clues: Make sure theapplicant seems like he or she can workwith others. Employers should carefullyscreen for “desk rage.” Beware of candi-dates who may be leaving their currentjob for reasons of incompatibility.

Stellar communications skills: Whentalking to candidates on the phone, theyshould be able to understand yourquestions immediately and respondclearly. Be judicious about what you useas “knockout” factors. If you raise thebar too high (like expecting 10 years ofexperience, when three would probablydo), you won’t have as many candidatesto choose from later in the process andmay have knocked out the most service-oriented or best team player.
