Use It or Lose It: Career Centers

College is a launchpad for your future career, but navigating that first job search can feel overwhelming. Did you know that your school has a secret weapon?

If you’re confused about your major or career options, you can talk to your advisor or professors. But you should also chat with the folks at the career center, who can offer not only professional knowledge but also personality and skills assessments to help you narrow it down.

Once you’re closer to graduation, they can help you navigate online job boards and employer databases more effectively, explore internship opportunities, and find out about networking events like career fairs.

Found some jobs that sound just like you? Now’s the time to seek the career center’s expertise once again. They can give you personalized feedback and pro tips on your resume, help you practice your interview skills, and even show you how to set up your laptop for optimal Zoom lighting.

But wait, there’s more! Most career centers offer services even after graduation. Alumni resources can help you reconnect with your network, search for jobs after graduation, and even prepare for career transitions later on.

The earlier you start, the more prepared you’ll be to land your dream job. Visit your career center’s website or office to explore their resources and take charge of your future!
