Our Career Team excels at preparing seniors like you for the transition from college to your desired career path. Here’s some quick advice they have to give…
“Job hopping is not detrimental to your career. Staying in a toxic work environment so you can show 'longevity' or 'dedication' isn't worth it.”
“You are ready for this! A good start to any new job includes observing group norms, asking lots of questions and having faith in your abilities.”
“If you're job searching, don't apply to everything and anything you see on job boards; be intentional about the jobs you plan to apply to and have a genuine interest in them. Do some goal setting for yourself on how many applications you want to apply to each week, set which days you will check job boards, and adjust for what works best for you as you know yourself the best."
"The first job after you graduate doesn't have to be your forever job, it's ok to move on if it isn't the right role for you, or if you are ready for something more."
“Keep building your network! Professional networking is about having and being a resource and support system. Build it now so you are prepared and so you can pay it forward.”
“There will be ups and downs throughout your career journey. The good, and especially the bad, will be great learning experiences for the following chapter of your journey. Enjoy the ride and remember to smell the roses along the way.”
