By admin, on August 21st, 2013  Even though classes have barely started, there are a number of internship (and job) deadlines that come very early in the fall. Opportunities in consulting, government and journalism, to name a few, can have application deadlines as early as September!
- Head to your campus career center within the first weeks of class and attend any orientation sessions provided.
- Plan to attend on-campus recruiting information sessions or information tables, and any career fairs, to connect with recruiters.
- Identify internship and job opportunities that interest you and get their deadlines on your calendar.
- Networking with alumni and other professionals in your field to learn about more opportunities and to get insider tips on the application process.
- With the help of career services, prepare tailored resumes and cover letters.
- Even if some of your internship deadlines aren’t until after the new year, send your applications in early, then follow-up a few times before the Christmas holidays.
By admin, on August 12th, 2013  Move-in day is just around the corner for thousands of college students. Here are some tips for making move-in day a success:
- Know your residence’s policies well in advance of move-in day, and make sure your parents are well aware of them, too. Many well-meaning parents have tried to bring, install, or move things that aren’t allowed.
- Label your boxes with locations and descriptions of what’s inside. Eg. “Desk Items – note paper, pens, pencils, clock.”
- Bring tools, cleaning supplies (disinfecting wipes and Lysol will be your close friends!), duct tape and a lot of cold bottled water to keep you hydrated.
- Bring some sort of hand-dolly (something with wheels) to help move boxes.
- Pay close attention to drop-off/unloading spots for freshmen and keep a campus map handy.
- Pre-load all of the events you’ll be attending on your phone’s calendar, including event locations, but also keep a print copy close by.
- Encourage your parents to attend any parent orientation sessions.
- Don’t spend too much time, or stress, trying to organize your room right away.
- Touch base with your school’s IT department to get yourself, your laptop and any mobile devices registered on the school’s network.
- If you feel yourself getting overwhelmed, take a break. Remember, you’ve accomplished a lot to get into college; a “less than perfect” move-in day can’t take that away from you.
- When it’s time to say goodbye to your parents, it’s ok to be sad.
- As busy and full as move-in day can be, take the time to enjoy it!
