Winter Break Checklist
The semester is over, final exams are wrapping up, and you’re looking forward to some time away from this place. Time away is a good thing, but remember that winter break is also a great time to take a big bite out of your job search. To help you stay in the swing of things with your search over winter break, the CSO offers the following helpful Winter Break Checklist:
____ Catch up on sleep
____ Update/Revise your resume and general cover letter
____ Send your resume and cover letter to lawjobs@case.edu for review by a counselor if they’ve never been reviewed or if it’s been a while
____ Spend quality time with friends and family
____ Log on to Symplicity a couple times each week to check new job postings
____ Read a non-law-related book (or two) and/or go see a movie (or two)
____ Reach out to area attorneys for informational interviews and/or shadowing opportunities
____ Get some more sleep
____ Apply to postings on Symplicity that are of interest you
____ Attend holiday receptions or other networking events hosted by firms, businesses, and/or local bar associations
____ Say “thank you” to the people in your life who support you and make your law school experience better
____ Make an appointment to meet with a CSO counselor in January to talk about your job search and career goals
