Get on LinkedIn!
It’s the last week of C-Term! Spring break can be very busy but if you have any free time consider setting up a LinkedIn account. LinkedIn makes it easy to set up a professional online profile that you can use to connect with others. If you recently had your resume critiqued for the Job Fair, […]
First Job Fair
The Job Fair last week was my first one. There were many opportunities for mechanical engineers and it was great to contact some companies and hand out a few résumés. This is my freshman year and many companies were looking for students with more experience, but it’s great to get started going to career fairs […]

Wednesday night I attended the Career Fair Preparation with Avery Dennison. There were a lot of people there – the event more than filled HL116.

Starting STAR
It’s the end of the week after Thanksgiving break and there’s only a few weeks left in the term! It’s a very busy time and many are just focusing on the two weeks ahead. However, the upcoming time off is an opportunity to think about the spring. I plan to get involved in the STAR […]
LinkedIn and Your Job Search
After getting a LinkedIn account a few days ago, I’ve begun exploring the site and what the site can be used for. LinkedIn tells you how complete your profile is. Your profile will become more complete as you add information about yourself such as present position, past positions, work experience, and interests. Yesterday I attended […]
