Major Blues
We’ve been getting a ton of students coming in who want to change their majors. They say stuff along the lines of, “Well my parents think I should do this, but I don’t know what I want to do…” Or, “I want to be an artist, but how will I make any money?”
Here’s the skinny guys- not only do you need to talk to us, but you can utilize all of the awesome resources we offer. Did you know we have a website? It’s chock full of amazing information, like a handout for EVERY major on campus, detailing what you can do with you, what industries you can go into, what additional skills they require, etc. And not that we advocate choosing a career path solely based on salary, but we suggest that you also check out our resources on salary information.
One general thing you can be doing is actively keeping your eyes and ears open too. What does that mean? It means taking some classes that don’t have anything to do with your major that peak your interest- if you’re a bio major and have always been interested in policy advocacy, consider taking a politics class for instance. Talk to professors from your and other various departments about the things that interest you and form a rapport with them. If they know you and your interests, they’re that much more likely to look out for you if they see something of interest. You also don’t need to limit your networking with professors or people you know on campus. You can set up informational interviews with companies or organizations that you think are awesome, and that might help you narrow down what majors your interested in.
Have a great weekend,
Seghel

Career Fair Flashbacks
Hey guys, if you didn't get a chance to attend the 22nd Annual Career & Internship Fair, here are some tips and feedback from students who did.

2010 Career and Internship Fair in Review
Students speaking with employers at the 2010 Career and Internship Fair
The Spring 2010 Career Fair came to a close in what both employers and Career Center staff felt to be a resounding success. A total of 41 employers represented themselves at the fair this year, and a little over 350 students attended. Although the fair was smaller than in previous years, the vibe was undoubtedly better. In their reviews, employers went out of their way to comment not only on how impressed they were with student's preparation for the fair, but also the attendee's dress and conversation. It seems the students who attended this year not only wanted to be there but prepared appropriately by doing their research, and from the Employer's end it certainly showed.
So, to everyone who attended the fair this year, please give yourself a big ole' pat on the back. Now just don't forget to follow up with all those employers you met with - networking is everything!
Have a great spring break,
Sarah
p.s. Don't forget our office is open during Spring Break for regular business hours (9-5) from Monday to Friday. Drop in hours will only be from 11am-2pm each day (no evening drop-ins over break). I'll be here, so drop by to say and keep me busy.
