It can be hard to find time for career exploration over
the short Thanksgiving Break, so here are four quick and easy ways to stay on
top of it in between Thanksgiving festivities!
1. Explore
the Career Options for your Major
What
Can I Do With This Major? is a
great database to learn about the typical career areas and the types of
employers that hire people with each major, as well as strategies to make you a
more marketable candidate. Whether you’re exploring multiple majors or just
jobs specific to your field this database can really help boost the process!
2. Update
Your Jumbo Jobs Profile
Search hundreds of opportunities
with Jumbo
Jobs,
our recruiting platform to connect students and employers for jobs, internships
and career events. Set up search agents using custom criteria, perfect your
resume with the Career Center’s guide,
and then upload your resume for employers to view.
3. Spotlight
On Careers
Spotlight
on Careers is a career development website for liberal arts
college students. Use its flexible search functions to sample employers in
different industries, gather information on select jobs and get career-specific
interview tips and resume advice (log in with username: spotlightpass and
password: liberalarts2017).
4. Check
out the TIP (Tufts Internship Profiles) Book!
The TIP book is a collection of summer internship summaries and advice provided by
Tufts students for Tufts students. After reviewing the internship profiles,
students can contact fellow students through the Tufts directory for more
information. This is a great inside peek at many internships done by Tufts students, and a valuable resource for you in your internship search.
And as always, visit the Tufts Career Center website for lots of great career resources, advice, and events! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!
