Winter break is a great time to advance your career plans. Take advantage of the time off from classes and exams to clean up your resume (or write your first one!), apply for a summer job or internship, or build your professional network. Although summer may feel a long way off, starting now will set you up for success.
Consider the following list of recommendations and pick one or two things that feel right for you:
- Schedule an appointment with a career and internship consultant to discuss your internship search strategy.
- Register to attend career fairs happening next semester
- Explore opportunities listed in the Experiential Education Database
- Reach out to alumni via the Alumni Career Network and plan informational interviews
- Learn how the Career Connections program can help you network and advance your career
- Apply for a micro-internship through Parker Dewey
- Apply to the Wall Street Trek
- Update your LinkedIn profile and join the Career Center group
- Build skills through platforms like LinkedIn Learning
There’s no one or right thing to do to advance your career plans. Everyone’s plans will be shaped a little differently, so try out the items listed above as they fit your interests.
