As we transition into the summer months, I want to remind students that the Tufts Career Center is open 9am-5pm throughout the summer. (Yes, we do work; I always find it amusing when students come back to campus in the fall and ask about my summer break.)
Summer appointments: If you're not in the area, you can schedule a telephone, Skype or email appointment with a career counselor.
How to make the most of your summer: Check out the tips on the front page of our website for how to make the most of your summer. We've tailored our tips by class year. Here are just a few of the options we suggest:

How to make the most of your summer: Check out the tips on the front page of our website for how to make the most of your summer. We've tailored our tips by class year. Here are just a few of the options we suggest:
- Didn't find an internship? One idea is to conduct a series of informational interviews with alumni. For more on that tip, check out our Networking handout and the Career Spot video on informational interviewing posted on our Facebook page.
- Still looking for a job? Submit your resume to the 2014 Resume Books.
- Rising sophomore or first year (if you're a first year, welcome to Tufts, and kudos for checking out our blog before you even start!!) and wondering where Tufts students intern? Browse our TIP (Tufts Internship Profiles) Book.
- The Career Center website is packed with so many phenomenal resources that many students don't have time to go through everything during the school year. So, it makes sense to dive in during the summer months. Here are my personal favorites for resources that are often overlooked (this would make a great blog post!):
- O*Net Online: essentially a careerapedia, otherwise known as an occupational database, but that's a dull descriptor
- What can I do with this major?: great for the "choosing a major" phase, but also extremely useful after you've chosen your major and when you're thinking to yourself: "OK, now what, exactly, can I do with this major after I graduate?"
- Candid Career Videos: so many videos, so little time . . . but most videos are under 4 mins! Here's what you can learn if you have 15 mins to spare:
- Profile of Janis Hirsch, TV writer/producer at Cherry Hill Productions in LA (2 mins, 44 secs)
- You and Your Web Presence (4 mins, 18 secs)
- Profile of Ben Rosenfeld, stand-up comedian (3 mins, 40 secs)
- Career Fair Advice (3 mins, 40 secs)
