It is April of your senior year and life is great! You have set yourself up with an easy last term of school so that you can take advantage of your final days with all your friends. Again, life is great! Then you realize that graduation is only a few weeks away and you are going enter a new phase of your life. All of a sudden the stress that you had before a difficult final exam is upon you again. Why, because you need to find a job! Take my advice, don't be this person. Don't put yourself in this position because you waited until the last minute. Start building your resume today! Start interviewing with companies today! Go to the Career Center and ask for help today! Too often I see students wait until the last minute to start researching their career paths because they don't know what they want to do. Realize this: it is ok if you don't know what it is you want to do for the rest of your life, but start figuring out what you don't want to do through interviews, career fairs, talking to a career counselor, visiting with your professors, and networking. This is a much better approach than switching companies every year until you are 40 trying to find a correct fit. Whether youâre a freshman or a senior, get started today and secure a job offer 6 months before your graduate...how great will your life be then?
