Don't Put It Off

Lately a lot of non-Freshman students have been coming into drop ins with high school experience on their resume and this is a problem. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are not going to get a job if you only have high school experience. These students look very desperate and scared when I tell them they need to take their high school stuff off and I understand their anxiety but it's my job to give them a reality check. So for any of you out there who are freshman (or beyond) and haven't been doing anything on campus, START NOW. I made the mistake of not doing anything on campus until spring semester of my sophomore year and now I need to get a lot of experience started in a short amount of time. Now, for those of you who are rising Juniors or Seniors, you're going to need to work even harder. First, join some on campus clubs and organizations! It's easy, they usually only meet once a week and it never hurts to make more connections. Second, get some off campus volunteer experience, preferably something related to what you want to do in the future. Third, get an on or off campus job ASAP. Fourth, internships. For internships you're going to need experience and relevant coursework so by following the previous steps you'll have the foundations of experience for an internship, which are key to getting a job after graduation.
A lot of people tell me they don't have time to do these things because of schoolwork and to them I have to say that that is untrue. I know many students who work hard academically and still have a strong activities and experience section on their resume. Your social life may need to become a slightly smaller part of your life but it will be worth it in the long run. I don't want to make anyone panic but for most of you there is still time so get going!

Advice from the Professional Todd Slattengren of Travelers

Todd Slattengren, CPCU |  Account Executive | Travelers National Accounts spoke at got a job/internship lunch celebration on May 2 and left both the interns and new graduates with some great advice listed bellow. All great things to know for student that got internships or jobs. 

USF – Got a Job/Internship Lunch Celebration – May 2

Advice for Interns

*Congratulations – This is a long interview process for both your employer and YOU. 

*Be an enthusiastic member of the team.  Make sure you are completing the projects/tasks they specifically ask you to do on time and done right.  Once you do that, I encourage you to raise your hand to volunteer for additional projects/assignments, teams, etc.

*learn the Internal culture – don’t assume, ask around if you are not sure

*Take advantage of opportunities to meet people in other divisions, units, departments, clients/peers.  Be prepared for the meetings and ask for business cards if available.

*Maintain list of contacts you made within the company during your internship; be sure to thank all of them at the end of the internship.  At minimum, ask your Supervisor/Manager for a letter of Recommendation.

*Stay in contact with your Manager/Supervisor next year, even after the internship.  Your engagement will help you stand apart from other interns or potential new hires.

*Establish a LinkedIn Profile, and be careful what you post on Facebook!!

*Interviews – sign up for all you apply for, learn about the company/role, ask questions during the interview, Thank the person afterwards (email, hand-written note, do not call)

*use the USF Alumni network to build your personal Network to help in your job search

*Keep an open mind – you may not land your “dream job” right away, or your “dream job” might not exist right now. 

Advice for Graduates/New Job

*Congratulations – this is an exciting and nerve racking time in your life. 

*Embrace change – it will be your only constant through the next 40-50 years

*Be attentive to the requirements and expectations of your job.  Raise your hand to volunteer for projects, assignments, committees but only if you can handle your current responsibilities well.

*Seek out Feedback from your Manager/Supervisor (Formal as well as Informal)

*Set up and Invest in a retirement plan – 401k, IRA, 403B, etc.  If your employer offers a match, put in at least as much as needed to earn the company match.  You are giving away free money if you do not do that.

*Adapt to the Company culture (work style in office/mobile, dress code, participation, etc.)

*Continue Professional Development in your field, especially if your company supports it

*Pros of Millennial Generation – Technologically advanced, adaptable to flexible work schedule, highly conscious to social and environmental issues

*Cons of Millennial Generation – Impatient/overconfident, sense of entitlement, cannot handle constructive criticism

*Seek out Mentors (within the Company/Organization) and outside as well.  They do not have to be in the same industry, in fact there are a lot of benefits of having a mentor in a different industry

*use the USF Alumni network to build your personal Network – also, join and be active and available for the students coming up behind you

*keep an open mind – opportunities may come up that requires you to relocate to another state or internationally – could be short term or permanent

*Be engaged in your community – education, healthcare, Arts/Music, Environmental causes

*Money is not everything and the key to all happiness – in time, you will find the right mix for you regarding compensation, benefits, challenging and engaging work, fit in company that matches your core values, work/life balance

*Establish a LinkedIn Profile, and be careful what you post on Facebook!!

Summer Internships!

This week I wanted to write about something that's been on my mind and probably on many of your minds as well. SUMMER. I'm excited for summer but it's also stressful trying to figure out productive plans during that free time. So far, I've applied to about 7 internships, I've been rejected from one and I have an interview with another. I haven't heard back from a lot of the others, even though I sent a follow up email. My point is, apply to a variety because summer internships are competitive. 

Here are the steps to finding an internship smoothly:

1. Come into our office and perfect your resume (please bring a hardcopy)! 

2. Look for positions on DonsCareers, Internship Exchange (UCAN) and other internship websites (resources can be found on our website). You can also look up some of your favorite companies and see if they're hiring, keep in mind you'll probably be at the bottom of the totem poll doing classic intern duties like coffee and filing. 

3. Schedule an appointment with one of our counselors to get help on your cover letters. Keep in mind you'll need to print out the job descriptions for all the positions you're applying for and bring them to your appointment.

4. Update and contact your references about the positions you're applying for; collect letters of recommendation if you need them.  

5. Begin practicing your interview skills either on your own or through a mock interview with our office. 

6. Buy professional clothes for interviews. Guidelines on our website. 

7. After you've applied, you can send a follow up email 2 weeks later, checking in and expressing your continued interest in the position. 

8. If you get an interview, send a thank you letter soon after (examples can be found on our website).

Interview Workshop and Professional Dress

Hi everyone, 

There was a big turnout at Ellen's CSC Interview Workshop and the information was relevant for all of us undergraduates so I thought I would share some of the highlights. 

The interview process can be really stressful and many students avoid applying to jobs for fear of the interview. It doesn't have to be so scary however, if you follow the advice Ellen gives. First, be on time, have a good handshake, smile and make eye contact. All of these things may seem obvious but they make a huge impression. There are a list of interview questions you can find on our website here. You should go through these and write out answers for each one in the days before your interview because you could be asked any of them. Ellen taught us the STAR system, situation, task, action and result. In your responses give specific examples of your experience and use these 4 points as a guideline, addressing each.

Professional dress was one part of Ellen's presentation that I believe it would be important to highlight here because after the career fair it seems obvious many people are not aware of how to dress professionally. To me, professional dress seems daunting and to be honest I don't have much professional apparel at the moment. I'm planning on going downtown to buy some things to be prepared for my summer internship interviews. Some stores for professional clothes are H&M, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx and Macy's. You can find some great professional clothes, even on a budget. All of these stores also sell the opposite of professional clothes so be very careful in your selections, keep it conservative and don't show a lot of skin. My boss said to our office last week, "the more skin you show, the more you're viewed according to your gender, not as a professional." Professional dress may be a very sexist institution but in order to succeed you need to dress as much like a man as you can without seeming androgynous/we need to play this to our advantage and use dress to benefit us, not have it work against us. Your rule of thumb should be: if you would wear it out, it's not professional. A mistake many young women make is wearing high heels.Heels should be no more than 1-2 inches, keep it kitten. Men, you have it easy, a classy suit is all you need to worry about having. You can go here for a prezi on how to dress professionally. You can also find the video of Ellen's workshop here.

How to Succeed in Interviews

Last week one of our career counselors put on a workshop on how to succeed in interviews. I personally learned quite a bit from it.

Two things I took home that I knew I needed to fix when I go in for interviews, and the third thing that was reinforced (as I had learned the hard way):

1.      I need to buy a portfolio. I have gone into interviews without them before and gotten hired at places like a local grocery store. It’s very different, however, when going in for interviews for graduate school or jobs in the workplace. In situations like these, a portfolio is necessary.

2.     How to dress the part. I have never owned a pair of slacks. Up till now I refused to buy them simply because I didn’t think they were cute or worth any amount of money. If you don’t go in to an interview properly dressed (including, slacks/ professional business skirt, a button up shirt/ professional-looking blouse that covers everything) you most likely will not get the job. So, after attending the work shop I invested in some slacks, shirts, and flats, from H&M that were professional and cute. Girls, if you are looking for a good deal on professional attire, Forever 21 and H&M are stepping up their game. I’d start there. As for guys, I did see a professional attire section on the guy’s side at H&M as well. Here is a prezi from our website on how to dress for an interview: http://prezi.com/pvxnuxbwy9mx/interview-attire/

3.     Ask questions at the end of an interview. In my experience with interviews thus far with college, this actually does make a difference. I have had three interviews for on-campus jobs total in my two years at USF, and the one that I didn’t get the job went embarrassingly like this:

Interviewer: So do you have any questions?

Me: No

At this point I was so nervous, my cheeks were turning red. Honestly, I was so nervous I couldn’t think of any questions because my mind had blanked.

Interviewer: Ok, it was nice to meet you. We will be in contact with you shortly.

It was probably a combination of being so nervous and not asking any questions about the job as to why I wasn’t chosen. Which leads me to my next tip…how do you stay calm during interviews? As a freshman, I had zero job experience and zero experience with interviews. On top of that I am a painfully shy person. The best advice anyone can give you is to practice what you are going to say and how you are going to say it, as well as putting perspective on the interview process so you don’t work yourself up into a ball of nerves. With that being said, a great tool you can use to practice interviewing is through our Mock Interview program. You can have a mock interview with a recruiter or with a career counselor. Check out our website for more details:

http://www.usfca.edu/CSC/Students/Mock_Interview_Program/

Next time, I will I talk in more detail about how I personally learned how to stay calm and collected during interviews…

Interested in Internships? Here's A Good Start...

Previously I discussed how difficult it could be to make decisions in college. Today I am going to talk about something else. I recently met a junior who was looking for an internship. She told me she had looked on DonsCareers in hopes of finding an internship she liked. In short, she had an idea of what she was looking for, but didn’t have any previous job experience. This is a common problem for many students.

Our homepage, www.usfca.edu/career, has a four year plan checklist of where you should be at each year of your undergraduate education.  If you are having trouble looking for an internship, there are a few things you can do that can help you along the way. Bring your resume with you to our drop in hours (11am-2pm Monday through Friday); let a counselor edit your resume or cover letter. Most importantly, I can’t stress enough how important it is to be proactive.

Keep looking on DonsCareers (include the search agents feature) because it is updated all the time. Try Nacelink, Indeed, UCAN Internship Exchange, and even go to your professor or advisor’s office hours to express your interest in internships or part time jobs. This website: (http://spirit.usfca.edu/stuemp/on_campus.htm) has on campus jobs if you prefer to work on campus. Is there a certain company you are interested in working for as an intern? Look at the company or organization’s website to see if they have any internship programs available.

The main thing to keep in mind is to keep looking; there are internships and jobs out there, and as students our job is to be proactive in looking for the right one for us.

If your resume is lacking job experience, consider getting a summer job to build your resume. Even if your summer job is not your dream career, that’s completely alright. It’s better to have some job experience than none at all, and it will give you something to talk about when you get an interview for that dream internship you’ve been wanting.

Happy internship hunting!

Government, Politics and Civic Engagemernt Career Panel

Hi Everyone,

I attended the Government, Politics and Civic Engagement Career Panel last month both because it was put on by our office and because those are areas I'm thinking of working in for the future. I plan to work in nonprofits one day, most likely political nonprofits. As a newly declared Politics student I've been really excited about getting involved with my major and meeting people within my future field.

I got to the panel late because I had class but I was able to see the second half of the presentation. There were five panelists, reps from the State Department, the CIA, two local government members and someone from USF's own McCarthy Center. I was most interested by the State Department jobs because the rep described exciting internship opportunities all over the world at different embassies. The panelists talked about what it was like to work in their fields and what kind of opportunities were available to students and recent graduates. The panelists also discussed different dos and don'ts concerning resumes and different professional things. Looking back I wish I had taken some notes because they gave smart advice. 

I was hoping to talk to the State Department representative but there were a few people lined up already and I got intimidated and nervous that I wouldn't have any good questions to ask. Looking back I regret not making a connection with the rep since working at an embassy sounds like something I would really love to do someday. As a USF student, I often feel that our school is small and unknown and I wish I attended Berkeley or another larger school in the area but the truth is we often don't realize what advantages we have as USF students. Since USF is so small we have less competition and stronger relationships with many companies and agencies, we need only utilize these connections. Being at this panel I realized that if I work hard and network efficiently I can have an exciting internship and/or job when I graduate, even in this competitive work environment.

I implore everyone to attend these panels and workshops and come into our office, utilize the advantages of attending USF!

Decisions (part 2)

The most intimidating part about college for me has been choosing a career path for my major. I am a psychology major and my journey so far has taken many turns. I had decided on doing premed spring 2012. Come October, I was sure I was going to be a high school counselor. It’s March 2013, and now I have no idea.

The most helpful thing I have done for myself in figuring out what I am not going to do in my future, was trying new things. Yes, that sounds a little cheesy, but process of elimination is probably the best tool in a college student’s utility belt. I highly recommend this to everyone.

I tried (and ultimately loathed) science classes. Well, becoming a doctor is off my list.

I struggled with seeing people very close to death while volunteering at UCSF. Cross doctor off again.

In volunteering at UCSF, I assisted in medical research with a few medical students (which I actually enjoyed, surprisingly, and had never considered doing before).  Write possible career in psychology research on my list.

As a result, I got involved with a psychology research lab on campus. Why don’t we keep a possible career in research on the list for now?

As for the high school counselor ambition? It’s not crossed off at the moment.  I am hoping to get involved with volunteering with a crisis line this summer. So hopefully I can make more progress on my list soon again.

As a sophomore, I still have some time before I need to make a concrete decision as to what my final career will be. However, it’s relieving to feel like I am making headway in navigating myself through all these big decisions.

Till next time,

Elaine Ortega

Major Indecision Part II

So, there I was, beginning the first semester of my sophomore year having taken mainly core classes. I had taken a few others including Media Studies and Intro to American Politics. Everyone had been telling me I didn't need to worry about declaring a major but I was starting to really freak out because I felt like I was running out of time. I was told by an adviser at CASA that I might not be able to graduate on time with some of the majors I was interested in like Hospitality and Psychology because they had so many requirements. I was dreading registering for classes because that meant I would have to decide my major like, now. When registration did come I was still undecided so I took one Politics class, one Sociology class and one Psychology class. I was leaning towards being a Politics major but I was still not 100% sure. I took Soc and Psych because I thought I might want to minor in one of those. I felt like I was missing out on Communications. It felt like a major I could see myself doing but I hadn't taken any Comm classes so how could I choose it? The Communications class I wanted to take was at the same time as the Politics class I wanted to take so I was forced to decide. I went with Politics because the class sounded more interesting to me and that was the major I had always felt drawn to. After declaring I still felt unsure but once it sunk in I felt it was the right choice. Joining the PACE (Political Action and Civic Engagement) on-campus at USF and applying to internships the past few weeks have gotten me very excited about my new major. I've also decided to minor in Sociology and joined the STEP (Sociologists Together Empowering People) which has added to my excitement. I can't wait to intern in my field and that's why I know I made the right choice. 

 

Choosing my major was just the beginning. Once I decided I had to go to CASA, get the add major form then go to the Politics department and get the form signed and then bring it back to CASA. So now I am officially a Politics major and it feels good. I emailed my advisor and we have a meeting set up for next week. It feels great to be able to write B.A. Politics on my resume. The best part though is being able to answer that previously dreaded question "What's your major?".

Decisions and Milestones

-->

Hey students,

As a sophomore, I feel as though I have reached a fork in the road with my academic career. Many other students like me probably also feel this. As with any major, there comes a time to decide what you want to do with that degree and what field you want to enter. After all, I am deciding what I want to study and do the rest of my life at nineteen…and I seriously hope I’m making the right decision so far. With that huge responsibility, comes a lot of indecisiveness.

There are a lot of questions I have, such as do I want to make money and get a job straight out of school? Do I want to apply for graduate school? Or my nightmare: take a few years off before applying to graduate school to work and make some money, but not be able to find a job, and have to move back in with my parents and work at Starbucks or something to pay off my ridiculous private school debt.

In two and half years, we will (us sophomores at least) have to make some big decisions that, to me seem too far away. I wish someone told me my freshman year to start buckling down a little more and at least apply for a few internships or something. As a whole, the attitude of freshman year was a blend of feeling grateful you were done with high school, and embodying the ‘let’s get wasted’ persona because it was expected of us from each other on some level socially. Maybe you didn’t drink at all, but either way, freshman year was about making friends and getting adjusted to the college experience. It wouldn’t have hurt to be a little more proactive in exploring career options, or post USF options in general though.

For me, all I wanted in coming to college was to have the chance to be more than the cashier at the local grocery store in my hometown (not kidding, that was one of my first actual jobs). I just hope that at the end of these two and half years I will have a better idea of what that will look like and start trying to be as prepared for graduation as possible.

I know I do have some control over what will happen after the next two and half years. There are internships, more job experience, and research opportunities I can shoot for. People have been telling me that as a sophomore, asking these questions now is probably better than to start wondering about all this your Junior year, or even your Senior year. It’s better to be proactive and start applying for internships or whatever else now, and learning from that experience, than it is to be applying for your first internship your senior year. Procrastination, while it has gotten the better of me most nights I do homework, won’t do me much good on my four year track to the “real world”. 

Thanks for reading,

Elaine Ortega

Final Part 3: Long Story Short...

Clearly, it's taking me way longer than it should to finish all the parts of my story... I think it's senioritis... -_- so I'll try to sum it up succinctly and make the long story short.

After I met the recruiters at the Fall Career Fair and they asked me to send in my resume, I was extremely hesitant to follow through for many reasons: one was because I was in the process of waiting to hear back from another internship; other reasons simply included that I did not make time for it (in other words, I procrastinated).
But that Friday, bored at work in the office, I applied on their website and submitted my resume (literally 3 days after I was asked).... and.... with no cover letter.... *Disclaimer: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!* - you should ALWAYS send a cover letter even if they don't ask for one and try to do so in a timely manner. 3 days is pushing it. It may have worked for me but it will not work for everyone especially when planned happenstance is not involved.

So they receive my resume and I guess they liked what they saw, because on Monday I received a call from their Headquarters. Little did I know this was the screening call/the first interview.
*Advice: ALWAYS be ready and on your toes when speaking to any representative of the company over the phone. You probably won't be able to tell it's the first rounds of interviews.

By the end of our conversation, I was invited to a mixer/group interview a few weeks later. Totally unexpected.

The day of the group interview came around and had it not been for a follow up call I received that same day from the same rep whom I had been keeping in contact, I would not have gone to the interview. I was feeling extremely lazy and simply "not feeling it" anymore. All I have to say is: *Advice: Please be sure to follow through with any scheduled calls or interviews with a prospective employer.

Suffice it to say, the road to landing the internship was filled with planned happenstance. After leaving the group interview/mixer I was pretty sure I wan't going to get the job buuuuut I was offered the internship (the next day) and 2 months in, I am absolutely loving every part of it!

I am happy and comfortable with where I am and in the end, that's the most important thing. :)


Hang in there gang,
Rosie
