Resume Review
On Friday, Brett and I took a visit to Career Services here on campus for a resume review. What a great help that was! I have had my resume reviewed by Career Services prior to this visit, but David took the time to give us even more tricks of the trade. My big advice is DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP! David had a lot of good tips and pieces of advice for us. You can check Brett’s latest entry for the major tips–he’s got lots of them listed.
In news related to my job search, I have been pretty busy this week, so i haven’t had much of a chance to really do much in my search–I hope this isn’t a trend. It would be frustrating to know that I am too busy with everything else to find a job! I heard of an open position on Friday, so this week I will be following up on that and applying for some other positions.
Right now, the future is a scary and unknown place. It is so hard for someone like me–a person who likes to know what’s coming up–to NOT KNOW what I will be doing in just a couple of months. It’s hard to think about this summer and not know where I’ll be living, where I’ll be working, just what I’ll be doing in general. I’m sure I’m not alone in this, am I? Sometimes I think I’m the only person freaking out about this stuff!
The next few weeks are going to be FULL. Next week is Senior Week, a week full of celebration for graduating seniors. The week after that is Greek Week, and then we are less than a month from the BIG DAY! I’m just going to enjoy the next few weeks. Things will work out for me and my job search, I have faith : )
Let me know if anyone has any words of wisdom. I know there are thousands of people who have been in my position. What is something that helped you get through this confusing and worrisome time? How did you keep yourself motivated and keep your frustration levels down? I know it’s tough, that’s for sure!

I have enjoyed reading this. The reasoning because I now know that I am not alone. Although I am not graduating in May, I still fear graduation without a job. It is very scary to me. I think this is my biggest fear, not finding a job after graduation. You are not alone.
