The UC Davis Internship and Career Center (ICC) states that part-time jobs are a great way for students to gain work experience to be more competitive in their career and job search. Here are a few reasons on why they say this is the case: Gain and Develop Transferable Skills, Explore Different Working Environments and Industries, and Meet and Network with Professionals
“Sister, your standing up was a big deal — a big, big deal — becoming a lawyer to represent the poor and the left-behind.”
What President Biden did not say, when presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to Sister Simone Campbell, was where she earned her law degree: King Hall, UC Davis. A member of the Class of 1977, she was editor of the UC Davis Law Review and did legal aid work in the community.
Your students learn from outstanding faculty at UC Davis. Of special note are our Chancellor’s Fellows, mid-career professors who receive a monetary award to seed pioneering research and involve students in their exciting discoveries. Supported in part by the Parents Fund, the Chancellor’s Fellows program strengthens UC Davis teaching and research—to the benefit of students like yours!
Take advantage of the summer time to explore self and occupational awareness. The ICC recommends several tools to help your student learn more about their interests, skills, and values, along with helpful tips on job research, informational interviews, and how to gain experience.
Meet three alumni who’ve returned to campus to serve in the CORE Officer Program and help build a safe and supportive community for all Aggies: Jena Du ’15, Tabbasum Malik ’19 and Ricky Lee ’16.
In 1952, Aggie Rifle Team shooter Audrey West ’53 became the first woman to earn a UC Davis varsity letter – and just a year later would go on to place third in the national college rifle championships.
There were no intercollegiate women's sports at what was then the College of Agriculture at Davis. The rifle team seemed like a good diversion from West’s intense course of study, animal husbandry.
Congratulations to the graduates from the class of 2022! For new to career professionals (and for current students thinking about their future career prospects), the job search process can seem over-whelming and often non-productive. So, here are a few tips:
1. Understand the roles, companies and industries for which you are applying. Start with research and informational interviews about roles, companies and industries that interest you.
2. Customize your resume, cover letters and other materials to the role. You don’t have to rewrite your resume for every job – especially when you have little or no experience. However, when possible, you should prioritize content that is relevant.
3. LinkedIn counts. If you are applying for roles online, you should have a compelling and complete LinkedIn profile.
4. Networking is the secret ingredient. Reach out to contacts, alumni and other hiring professionals at targeted companies to learn more and/or to bring attention to your application.
