Take advantage of what's around you!

The fall semester is just around the corner, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking about my upcoming schedule, classes, work, an internship, oh and maybe some free time too. Lately I've been receiving a lot of e-mails about internship and job opportunities, most of them through Temple University. There are so many resources to be taken advantage of!

Look into your specific school/college for better details about organizations and information you should look into. This goes for our readers that don't go to Temple, as you probably have access to similar resources. Take the School of Communications and Theater (SCaT), each major has their own listserv which offers newsletters and e-mail blasts with the latest information or even internship/job opportunities. So don't hesitate to sign up for your major or a subject you might have interest in. Also, Temple has a great Career Center which offers jobs and internships available on campus! The Career Center has a great site which you can check out here, while they also send out e-mails regularly too! The career center on campus also offers assistance with workshops, resume critiques and more!

Get yourself ready now and don't wait until the first day of classes to start thinking about what you want to do this semester. Take advantage of what's around you, especially the great resources at your college or university! It's always better to be ahead of the game, so get started early and good luck!
