Questions Corner: Your Questions Answered!<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
This weeks question is: How can you use your winter break wisely?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to relaxing, you can use your winter break to make progress with your professional pursuits. <\/p>\n

As a first step, the Career Center recommends reflecting on your professional goals. Consider what kind of opportunities you\u2019d 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\u2019s action plan to getting a job<\/a>. Also remember that the Career Center has a number of resources on our website, including resumes<\/a>, cover letters<\/a>, interviewing<\/a>, and more!<\/p>\n

Additionally, winter break is an ideal period for skill development. If you\u2019re not already registered for a half block class, apply for and complete a career building opportunity<\/a>. One CC-specific career building opportunity is the Level-Up Program<\/a>. For more skill-building ideas, look at the Career Center pathway pages<\/a> for resources specific to different industries. <\/p>\n

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\u2019re interested in. Attending networking events or virtual meet-ups is another way to build your network, and Handshake<\/a> is a great place to find these events. Want help networking? Check out the Career Center\u2019s networking guide<\/a>, and once the Career Center staff return from Winter Break on January 4th, feel free to schedule an appointment with us through Handshake<\/a>.  <\/p>\n

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! <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
