The Job Search Part 2

While I realize that in the last post I did not really convey any information about my job search other than I would be telling you about it and that I met with people to try to determine what to do, I will now go into further detail about those meetings. While at the career center, I learned about some of the many resources they have. I had no idea that they had their own small library and computer lab for students to use specifically for the job search, to work on resumes, or even apply for jobs. It is a great quiet place to get some work done towards making sure you are well informed and well prepared for the search and application process. I got a resume critique, advice about how to get my name out there, and even some networking tips. I have a lot of work to do now. From working on a cover letter for applications to preparing a networking email, this will really add to the amount of stuff I have to do. I think that I will have to put it off for a while because of all the work I have to do with school (the due date of my senior project is rapidly approaching and I have done nothing more than checked out some books from the library), but my goal is to have all of the things we went over at the career center completed before the Christmas holiday so I can set up another appointment to meet with my advisor to edit all of those materials before I send them out.
