Winter is finally here!

We hope you were able to relax during Thanksgiving Break before coming back and using our tips from the last newsletter. Now, finals are upon us! Make sure to sleep well and eat healthy foods while studying/doing final projects! At the Career Center, we have a couple of final events before the semester ends, so be sure to attend if you have some free time
.
If you’re looking to strategize your job search over the holidays, we recommend picking up the book: The 2-Hour Job Search: Using Technology to Get the Right Job Faster by Steve Dalton. A few of Dalton’s tips include:
Build a list of target organizations
Rank those organizations so you can focus on the organizations of most interest
Identify and reach out to potential alumni at these organizations
Conduct an effective informational interview with a dose of small talk and strategic questions
Also, be sure to take an active role in protecting yourself from job scams that seek to take advantage of you as a job seeker. Learn more about job scams and strategies to deal with them.
And for your convenience, we have listed some jobs/internships from Handshake for all colleges, so be sure to apply! Good luck with finals and happy holidays!!
