Leverage leverage leverage. That's how you can make the most out of your college experience POST college. We have been a mentor to many of our younger sorority sisters that we wanted to provide you with some tips we learned along the way in college to help you succeed. These 5 resources can really help you advice in the work life post college:
- Locate your school's jobs and internship website and search for jobs and internships fitting to your interests. For us at Arizona State University, we had Sun Devil Career Link and it allowed us to type in keywords and internships and jobs fitting to those key words would pop up!
- Engage your counselor! They are getting paid to fully help you so take advantage! Bonus: try to find a counselor from the Business School. Use them to review your résumé and keep you in the know of important on campus events.
- Speaking of events, find out when your school's Career Fair is and go! It's all about putting yourself out there and networking.
- Talk to upperclassmen. They know the ropes and can really guide you down a more smooth path in college.
- If you're in a sorority, engage your Educational Chairwoman and committee. This was one of the best parts of being in a sorority because so many of our sisters had helpful study guides or old books they didn't mind passing down. If you're not in a sorority, locate study groups; they're so helpful especially when prepping for a major test.
Good luck and make the best out of your college experience!
While focusing on getting a good average is a good thing too, remember that college is also a preparation for when you get out there in the real world. So it’s best to be informed of what to expect, and there’s no better resource than people who have experienced it for themselves! Anyway, I’m sure a lot of college students could make use of these tips. Thanks for sharing this with us. All the best!
