THINGS WE CAN DO TO EXPLORE OUR CAREER OPTIONS

In order to explore you career options, you need to choose your classes correctly, after discussing you goals with an advisor. Classes can be the first step to learn the language, current trends, and major players in your field.

Be sure to visit your professors outside of class during their office hours. Let them get to know more about you, and ask about their advice and help if you are not sure about anything. Your professors might have connections at graduate institutions which they might share with you or introduce you to new programs which you have never heard about before. Professors who know you better as a person will also be more willing to write letters of recommendation for your grad school applications and be better able to write about you in those letters.

Also, visit the Career Development Center in Room C102 which offers free services to help you find internships, teaches you about the job search process, and listens to your goals. They also might be ale to connect you to alumni who have gone thorough this procedure and are now persuading same career as you wish to pursue.

Engage yourself in field by participating in events and job fairs.
