Winter Productivity

Now that the fall semester is over, what are your plans? Are you going on vacation or catching up on some sleep? Maybe both. While relaxing sounds amazing remember to stay productive. This is a great time to do all of the things that you have been putting off all semester like updating your resume, applying for internships, taking winter classes or finding a job.

• Updating your resume is very favorable at this time because you may have developed new skills from one of your classes this semester, earned certification or held a job.
• If you are looking for volunteer experience this is also the perfect time, the holidays are all about helping those less fortunate.
• In need of money? Many retailers are hiring for short term employment over the winter break which may be valuable since you will be able to make money while you’re on break then focus on school when the spring semester begins.
• Here at Kingsborough Community College a six week winter module is offered from January until February which is another option for staying productive. Taking winter classes can lighten your spring course load or keep you on track to an early graduation. Taking winter classes is also a great way to network with your professors who are experienced professionals in the field of your interest.
• Consider joining LinkedIn over the break. LinkedIn’s mission is to connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful.

Enjoy your productive winter break!
