Fight Senioritis! There's still a lot of work to do!

Seniors, you're almost there!! As you get ready to graduate and begin reflecting on where you are going/what you are going to do after graduation, use the following as a basic checklist for things you should get done before you leave USF:
  • Meet with a career counselor and plan a strategy to maximize your senior year/summer.
  • Sign up for On-Campus Interviews on DonsCareers.
  • Decide on your best option after graduation, and come up with one or two backup plans just in case.
  • If you are considering graduate school pick up the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, CBEST, PRAXIS, or MCAT test bulletins.
  • Attend Resume Writing and Interviewing Workshops.
  • Learn market trends and salary expectations for your industry and career of interest.
  • Gather relevant job application materials. (Resume, Cover Letter, References, Examples of Previous Work)
  • Attend the Career Fair to network and discuss opportunities with Bay Area Employers
  • Identify top skills/interests from past work experience to prepare for interviews.
  • Set up a videotaped mock interview session to practice your skills.
  • Use DonsCareers to identify job opportunities.

    Congratulations Seniors! You've worked hard your years here and deserve the best!!
