30-Minute Crash Course: Job/Internship Search
I'm leading it, and it'll be my last career center presentation before I graduate!
"Unpacking Organizational Culture During an Interview"
"Interview Q&A | 'Why Do You Want to Work Here?'”
Plus, it includes examples!
Real Talk: I don't have a job yet, and I'm freaking out!
Do you not have a job lined up yet? Are you feeling isolated because your friends all seem to know what they're doing?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! In fact, the majority of students will not get a job until after graduation. Do not fret! Remember that most organizations hire on an as needed basis. This means, they won't look to hire you until someone leaves, and then they need to fill that position right away! AKA, they might be looking for someone to start May 1st. You will have many more opportunities once May hits to find jobs with start dates that align to your availability.
Shameless plug: If my words of wisdom did not assuage your fears, please don't hesitate to email me to set up an appointment! I am here for you!
