#MakeMoves

Do you have a list of things you wanted to get done over the semester that you didn’t get the chance to? Use the time over break to catch up and #MakeMoves towards YOUR professional development!

Some ways you can make #MakeMoves:
  • Contact an alumnus who works in a field or company you’re interested in
  • By asking them questions, you’ll not only learn more about what it’s like to work at that company, but also what it’s like to work in that industry and type of position – from someone who used to be in your shoes! This is a great article with advice on how invite a professional to a coffee meeting.

  • Shadow a professional
  • Shadowing is a great way to see what someone’s day-to-day looks like, making it easier to envision yourself in that job and decide if it’s right for you.

  • Take a career assessment
