So let’s face the facts: our economy is... well... not doing that great. The amount of current available jobs is substantially less than it was in previous years. Unfortunately, this can and probably will affect you, as distant as it may seem.
But that doesn’t mean you should lose hope! I’ve seen more students than ever come into drop-in sessions with resumes and cover letters looking for potential summer jobs, and that’s great! But if you’re in need for a job or internship this summer, you better get on it ASAP.
For a reminder, here’s a few things that you can take advantage of to snag those last minute jobs or make those last minute decisions before Summer.
As always, make sure to check out both DonsCareers and Internship Exchange for any job or internship postings (and also check out one of my previous posts for more links on internship searches). According to career counselor Alex Hochman, while we might be in a lull right now in terms of opportunities, make sure to check back by early June for a rush of new available opportunities.
Also, don’t forget the Career Services Center is open all summer, so feel free to stop by at any time to meet with a counselor, work on that resume, or anything else you need. We'll all be happy to answer any questions you may have.

p.s. stay tuned for an awesome PDF created by my fellow CPP Seghel with a bunch of details from the Looking for a Job in a Recession workshop. Should be up in the next day or two!
