Seniors: Need a good answer for the dreaded question, "So, what are you doing next year?" Advisors in the Hale Center for Career Development are standing by to help you plan for senior year and beyond. We've got the resources, expertise, and encouragement you need. Here's a checklist to get you started:
Meet with your career advisor – We are here to help you create and execute your plan, set goals, and strategize to make the most of the next three, six, nine, and 12 months.
Meet with the Dean of Fellowships/Scholarships - There are opportunities for post graduate study and work through fellowship funding for students who have stellar academic records.
Know what’s going on
Dedicate the time — A job search or graduate school application process is equivalent to the time commitment of taking another class. Expect to commit a couple of hours per day, for a total of several hours per week, to the process.
Use Moodle Resources — Found on Moodle Campus, the Hale Center Moodle page contains resources that can help you explore industries, improve your online presence, and review information on interviewing, networking, and professional communication.
Network — Talk with friends, family, faculty and alumni about internships/postgrad plans/career interests. Use LinkedIn to find and connect with alumni and potential employers.
