The 30-Day Career Center Reset

• Week 1: Resume or LinkedIn review
• Week 2: Attend one employer event or workshop
• Week 3: Mock interview or career conversation
• Week 4: Reflect + update your resume with what you learned

The 3-Question Career Check-In (use every semester)

• What skill did I build this term?
• Where did I apply it outside class?
• Who can validate or strengthen this skill?
  

How to use your Career Center like a pro

• Don’t wait for urgency. Build a habit.

Pick one Career Center touchpoint each term: resume check, mock interview, LinkedIn tune-up, career chat, or workshop. Treat it like the gym. consistency beats panic visits.

• Translate your classes into career language.

After a project, write 1–2 resume bullets using action + skill + deliverable.

• Use employer events strategically.

Go in with one goal: learn what skills actually matter.

Ask: “What separates students who thrive here in their first year?”

Then build that skill this semester.

• Borrow the alumni playbook.

Reach out to one alum each term. Ask about their first job mistake and one skill they wish they had built earlier. That advice is gold.

• Build a Career Readiness Loop (repeat every semester):

Reflect → Skill Up → Get Feedback → Apply → Repeat

Career Centers help you run this loop faster and smarter.
