Flashback to my senior year in college - home for winter break
Well-meaning friend of the family: "Susannah, what are you going to do after graduation?"
Me: "Errr... ummm.... well, I did work at Dairy Queen for 2 years in high school... perhaps they're looking for someone with Blizzard-making expertise?"
Okay, so that's a slight exaggeration, but it doesn't change the fact that I really didn't know how to answer the question. I'd never set foot in the career center at my university, and I was pretty intimidated by the whole "life after college" idea.
Does this story sound familiar? If so, you're in luck! On November 6, Career Services will host a small group of seniors for Job Search Boot Camp - a half day crash course in job search topics. Participants will receive a resume review, learn about crafting effective cover letters, make a practice networking phone call to a Tufts alumnus/a, discuss job search strategies, and engage in a mock interview with a career advisor. Boot Camp is geared toward seniors who are new to Career Services or haven't been to see us in a while.
Check out the Upcoming Events section on the Career Services home page at careers.tufts.edu for complete details and registration information. If you have any questions, just email me - Susannah.Krenn@tufts.edu
Here's what some past participants had to say about the program:
“I was very satisfied with Job Search Boot Camp. I really liked that the program was offered to a relatively small group so that everyone had a chance to ask questions. I think the half-day format was also great because all of the "pieces" of the job search came together and I was able to leave feeling confident that I know how to move forward in the search.”
“I thought the day went really well- the speakers were effective in getting their points across- and I left feeling more educated and informed.”
