Advancing Your Career Over Holiday Break:
1. Update your resume
When was the last time you updated your bullet statements? Did you have a new experience this past semester you haven't been able to put on your resume yet? Utilize the time now so that when you come back and start applying for jobs or internships, you are ready.
2. Talk to your family about their careers/contacts
Are you going to see Great Uncle Joe who is an accounting exec at a Fortune 500 company? What about your older cousin who started up her own marketing firm? And your old college buddy who landed a job last year at the same place you want to apply? Talk to them! Ask them how they got to where they are and if they have any other connections.
