After a long semester, the thought of spending winter break sleeping in, watching television, and playing video games sounds pretty enticing. While it is certainly important to make time to relax and recharge, this can also be the perfect opportunity to get your career in gear. Think about what you can do over the holidays to give yourself a leg up in this tough economy.
Here are some suggestions:
- Create or update your resume
- Take inventory of your strengths, interests, and values if you are undecided about a major and/or career
- Start your job/internship search and ask family and friends about potential leads
- Volunteer a couple hours a week for a cause that you feel strongly about
- Conduct an Informational Interview with a friend or family member to learn about their career path
Don’t wait until the last minute to start thinking about your future plans.
Start the spring semester off on a positive note by scheduling an appointment with Career Services to develop an action plan to get your career on-track.
Have a safe and happy holiday!
