Spring Break Bonanza: Where Internships & Fun Collide
As spring break approaches, it's a time for blossoming opportunities and fresh starts. This is the perfect moment for your Aggie to pause, reflect, and plan ahead for their exciting journey into the world of internships and part-time jobs.
The Internship and Career Center (ICC) guides countless students each year through career exploration. From wide-eyed freshmen to eager soon-to-be graduates, each student brings their unique dreams and aspirations to the table. At the ICC, we understand that the path to a fulfilling career isn't always straightforward, but we're here to provide the tools and support needed to turn aspirations into realities.
So, as we welcome the warmth of spring, here are three key steps to inspire your Aggie to spring into action and embark on their journey!
Network on LinkedIn
In today's digital age, networking has shifted online, and LinkedIn has become the cornerstone of professional connections. UC Davis students can leverage this platform to showcase their skills, connect with industry professionals, and explore potential career paths. By establishing a LinkedIn profile early, your student is able to tap into a vast network of opportunities that transcend geographical boundaries. Check out the ICC’s LinkedIn Profile Checklist to learn more.
ICC’s YouTube Channel
Aggies can gain invaluable career insights by subscribing to the ICC YouTube channel. Featuring playlists on Networking, Cover Letter and Resume Writing, and Interviewing, this resource empowers students to hone their professional skills from the comfort of their own screens. With the digital landscape shaping the future of career development, accessing such informative content is a proactive step towards success.
Search for your next Step on Job Boards!
As your student dives into the world of internships and part-time jobs, make sure they utilize valuable resources like Handshake, LinkedIn, and ONET. These platforms offer a plethora of opportunities tailored to their interests and skills. Whether they’re exploring job listings, networking with professionals, or researching potential career paths, these tools are essential for navigating the ever-evolving job market.
As Spring Break approaches, prepare your student to seize the moment and take the next step towards their future success! Don’t forget to check out the ICC as well, where you can make appointments with advisors to help with any of these three steps.
