Tips of the Week - October 22, 2012

For students with graduation year of:

2015 & Above:  Take time to think about possible career paths.  If you are not sure where to start, begin by completing the assessments on your Springboard account.  These assessments will provide career paths based on your results.  Research the different career paths to see which ones you are interested in pursuing.

2014: Attend college fairs. Listen to your school’s announcements or stop by your guidance department to find information on upcoming college fairs near you. Pick up brochures from colleges that interest you. Fill out the inquiry cards so you can get more information sent to you from those schools. Ask the admission representatives the questions you have about their colleges.

2013:  Prep for college interviews.  Some schools require or offer interviews with admissions officers and/or alumni.  If you have a scheduled interview or are planning to schedule an interview, tune in to our Expert Session on Tuesday, October 30 at 8:00PM EST. You will hear for tips on how to prepare for your interview.  Dial (712)338-8065 with access code 6079# to join us on the call.

2012 & Below:  Attend a career fair. It is not too early to start thinking about a spring or summer internship! Stop by your college’s career center to find information on upcoming career fairs near you. Research information on the participating companies and organizations prior to attending. Be prepared to supply multiple copies of your resume, and create a list of questions to ask each representative.
