Are you graduating this spring? Congratulations! But before you pack up your college stuff and hang your diploma on the wall- let\u2019s make sure you\u2019re set up for success. If you don\u2019t have a post-graduation plan yet, now\u2019s the time to start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take some time to update your resume, LinkedIn<\/a>, and social media profiles. Add any new work experience, skills, and projects you completed this semester to your resume\/LinkedIn and remove any content that is no longer relevant or recent. Make sure your graduation date is up-to-date on your resume as well- you want employers to know you\u2019re seeking full time employment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Brush up your online presence on social media by removing any content that might not paint you in the best light- remember that employers may (and often do!) look at your social media before extending job offers or making hires. This includes Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram among others. It\u2019s also a good idea to Google yourself so you\u2019re aware of what comes up. Check out additional tips from Business Insider<\/a> for how to clean up your online act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of social media, the VCEA Internships & Career Services Office (@WSUVoilandPPEL<\/a> on Twitter and @VCEAInternships<\/a> on Facebook) posts daily internship and entry-level job postings from companies around the Northwest and beyond. This can be a great starting point in your job search, as our office posts opportunities for over 650 companies we work with each semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, make sure to check out Handshake,<\/a> Voiland.CareerShift,<\/a> and the VCEA Internships & Career Services website<\/a> for a full list of job search engines, internship search strategies, and opportunities broken down by major, company, industry, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Set up a virtual appointment via Zoom with a Career Coach from the VCEA Internships & Career Services Office for job search assistance, resume help, cover letter creation & more! Appointments are available daily and can be scheduled via the links below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Be on the lookout for an email in your WSU email with the Job Placement Survey later this semester. Fill out the Job Placement Survey with your post-graduation plans- will you be employed full time? Going to grad school? Starting your own business? Or still figuring it all out?
