This is so that you get crucial updates about what is happening on Bentley’s campus as well as within industries. However, there is so much more to explore on CareerEdge. CareerEdge is constantly getting updated, but how often do you really need to check in on CareerEdge to maximize your benefits but optimize your time?
The answer: once or twice a week is all you really need. Take a CareerEdge break of about 20-30 minutes and explore. Here are some tips for how to make sure your time is well spent.
- Check-in once at the beginning of the week and once at the end.
- There are typically two drops of #Hired posts (usually on Monday and Thursday), so if you want to stay updated with career news regarding your peers, it’s good to check twice a week!
- Events typically happen midweek.
- Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are all huge event days and you can get exposure to a lot of different firms by checking in with CareerEdge once a week and noting when interesting events seem to be coming up.
- Spend some time surfing your career community.
- There are updates to each career community at least once a week, if not more. Definitely spend some time focusing on finding new jobs within your dream industries and companies.
