Career Center Highlights

Questions Corner: Your Questions Answered!

This weeks question is: How can you use your winter break wisely?

In addition to relaxing, you can use your winter break to make progress with your professional pursuits. 

As a first step, the Career Center recommends reflecting on your professional goals. Consider what kind of opportunities you’d like to have during the upcoming semester as well as the upcoming summer and what action steps you can take to achieve those opportunities. For ideas on what steps to take, look at the Career Center’s action plan to getting a job. Also remember that the Career Center has a number of resources on our website, including resumes, cover letters, interviewing, and more!

Additionally, winter break is an ideal period for skill development. If you’re not already registered for a half block class, apply for and complete a career building opportunity. One CC-specific career building opportunity is the Level-Up Program. For more skill-building ideas, look at the Career Center pathway pages for resources specific to different industries. 

Winter break is also a great time to build and check in with your network. To build your network, you can connect with alumni, professionals, or even family friends in an industry you’re interested in. Attending networking events or virtual meet-ups is another way to build your network, and Handshake is a great place to find these events. Want help networking? Check out the Career Center’s networking guide, and once the Career Center staff return from Winter Break on January 4th, feel free to schedule an appointment with us through Handshake.  

Overall, the Career Center hopes you have a restful break that helps you feel excited about your upcoming classes and opportunities. We look forward to seeing you in the new year!

Resource Website Regarding the Israel-Hamas War

Dear Campus Community,

CC leadership understands that the Israel-Hamas war continues to have significant impact on members of our campus community. In an effort to support everyone, we have developed a dedicated webpage to centralize communications, actions, and resources.

This webpage serves as a comprehensive resource hub, providing up-to-date learning opportunities, relevant messaging, and avenues for community engagement.

We want to ensure that members of our community feel safe, supported, and informed. Please visit this page regularly for information about CC’s campus response, and how we are working to foster a healthy environment for dialogue and understanding among those on our campus.

Wishing you a restorative and restful holiday season.

Warmly,


Pedro

Dean of the College and COO
