Execute Your Plan

Now that you’ve reflected on your interests and organized a plan, it’s time to put it into action. The summer is the perfect opportunity to take concrete steps that will set you up for success once the semester begins.

Start by choosing one or two specific goals you can realistically achieve before the fall – whether that’s updating your resume, applying to internships, or completing an online course. Break these goals into smaller steps and set deadlines so you can track your progress along the way.

Remember, progress doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful. Even small actions, like finding a mentor on Cane2Cane or attending a networking event, can move you closer to your career aspirations. If you need guidance, check out our 8-step job search toolkit, which provides practical tools and tips to help you stay on track.
