Year 3

  • Update your online resume and get an updated transcript (130 Jesse Hall).  This should be done at the beginning of each semester.
  • Go to the Fall and Spring Career Fairs.  
  • Look for summer internships starting at the Fall Career Fair.   Full-time work experience during the summer before graduation is very helpful to your job search in the fall of your senior year. 
  • Do informational interviews.   Approach individuals from companies in which you are interested.  Talk to them about their work.  You will be amazed at what you learn.
  • Hold an office in at least one organization.   Without this, you may have little to show a potential employer except academic work.  Your competition will have both grades and work/community experience.
  • Attend more BCS workshops.  
  • Attend the Leadership Conference.  Applications are available in early October – 104 Cornell.
  • Hustle for an internship.   To stand out among other job seekers, it is very helpful to have career-related summer work before you start your last year. 
  • Attend P.L.A.N. again (Winter Semester). Applications are available in 104 Cornell Hall starting in January.  This might help with finding an internship – networking is the key!
  • Identify and list prospective employers.   Your list should include 15 to 20 companies by now.
