With the semester almost coming to an end, you may want to schedule an appointment with a career advisor before break. Winter break is the perfect time to apply for jobs as you may have a lot of time on your hands without classes. With this time, it is a good idea to make sure your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, and Handshake profile are ready to be seen by recruiters.
The first step to meeting with a career coach is to find one that is an expert in the field you are majoring in or if you are not declared, one you are interested in. All career coaches are experts in their field, so no matter who you meet with, you will be getting top-notch support!
