Welcome, Prospective Students! Learning never ends and neither does your career development! This process is an on-going, lifetime activity, compassing assessing one's interests, searching for and obtaining internships and work experiences, obtaining full-time employment, and applying to graduate/professional schools to changing careers. The following are some tips to help you get started. - Develop a Resume of Honors/Achievements, Activities, and Experiences
This resume, often required within college applications, can be further developed and later used when applying to part-time jobs, volunteer work, internships, and ultimately full-time jobs.
- Get Involved in Extracurricular Activities, and Volunteer/Community Service
Admissions' offices look for active students who, upon admission to college, will continue to stay involved and add to the campus and surrounding community.
- Evaluate your Personal and Professional Goals
Assess your goals in terms of short- and long-range goals, but focusing on what and where you would like to be post-high school and even post-college. In this day and age, post-high school education and training is critical! Discuss your tentative goals with counselors, teachers, and family and seek their input and advice.
- Explore Career Options and Gather Information
Talk with your high school advisor, teachers, college career center's, professors and professionals in the field to gain career-related information. Conducting these informational interviews will help you explore careers that are of interest to you. Gather materials on different occupations to learn what education, skills, training and experience is necessary to be successful.
- Obtain Admission Requirements and Visit Colleges
Request admission requirements (e.g. application, fees, SAT scores, personal essays) from prospective schools. Collect college catalogues and other materials. Visit your prospective colleges by attending open house events or plan your own visit and tour.
