There may not be on-campus events to network at over break, but you should not let that stop you from making connections and extending your network. The CCD is open for walk-ins from 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday, including through exam week. If you are planning to apply for positions over break, or if you would like feedback on what you can polish to be prepared for next semester, you can come into the Center for a resume review. When was the last time you looked at your resume? If you have been putting off polishing or updating it, winter break can be a great time to check that off your list. You can always drop into the Center for Career Development for a walk-in appointment if you want to review your LinkedIn profile with a career counselor or have a new headshot taken. If your LinkedIn profile is current, it is easy to copy the information over to Handshake. If you find an opportunity that peaks your interest, do not forget to “favorite” it, so it is easy to find and apply to later. Break is also a great chance to ensure your Handshake profile is up-to-date. There are already more than 1200 postings, and more are being added every day. But winter break is a great opportunity to research job and internship opportunities on Handshake. Right now, you are probably focused on finals. As we go into break, here are five tips that will help prepare you to hit the ground running in the spring semester:

Winter has descended, Thanksgiving break has passed and we are coming into the final leg of the semester.
