Still on the Job Hunt

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all as excited as I am to see the sun out and actually feel the heat a little bit now! Spring is approaching for sure! It's great to see everyone at UT out and about when it is nice outside too! I keep seeing lots of kids and their families taking tours of our campus, so hopefully that means we will have a great new group of students here in the fall!

As for me, I'm still looking for a Job after graduation and will not be going to a new school like the incoming freshmen. I have my own set of nervous feelings to deal with! I've been looking all over the internet and trying to network through people I meet at my waitressing job, but nothing solid has come up yet. It just came to me today to utilize the Career Services that the University provides as a research tool.

Career Services has an office on Campus in the Riverside Building designed specifically for students and alumni to recieve help finding internships while still taking classes as well as finding jobs after graduation. The staff in Career Services is trained to provide assistance and guidance towards your next steps in life. I have been looking at HIRE-UT, a tool provided through the university to find current job openings that have been offered to UT students and alumni as well as hold and build your resume for future use.

UT provides so many different opprotunities to better your interview skills and work on your resume before heading out into the job market as well. Short workshops and seminars that provide great insight on interview processes and job skills are also provided through Career Services. Students who take advantage of everything UT has to offer in regards to finding internships and jobs are very fortunate and have high success rates in the years following graduation.

If you are looking to get ahead, Career Services is the place to go! Internships are a great way to get a foot in the door with a company or organization while still taking classes. A counselor in Career Services can talk to you about all the different options that are available.

Happy Tuesday :)
