Using Spring Break to Your Advantage
Spring Break is next week and it’s hard to believe that so much of the semester has already flown by. Take some time over the break to unwind and rejuvenate yourself, but remember that the break can also be a great time to make some big strides in your job search. Here is a brief list of some things you can do this week and next to keep your job search going strong!
• Schedule an in-person or telephone counseling appointment with the CSO if you haven’t visited us in a while (or perhaps have never visited!) to talk about your job search goals and how to get there.
• Continue checking Symplicity every few days; take the time to finally apply to those jobs you’ve had marked as favorites for these past few weeks.
• Attend a local bar association meeting or CLE to meet practicing attorneys and build your network.
• Make follow-up calls to employers you’ve applied to but haven’t heard from.
• Reach out to area attorneys for informational interviews and/or shadowing opportunities.
• Use the Employers tab in Symplicity, Martindale.com, or other
online legal directories to develop a target list of employers to contact regarding possible employment opportunities.
• Update your resume and brush up your cover letter.
Remember that the CSO will be open Monday through Thursday of Spring Break, so don’t hesitate to call, email, or stop by with any questions or concerns you may have.
