CDC+Fulbright

I have been using the CDC, career development center, since I was a freshman. It is the only other thing I feel has been just as indispensable throughout my college stint as Fulbright Advising.

The advising office is abuzz today as walk-in appointments started this week. How fun is that?! You can just walk into the advising center, be prepared to wait a bit, and see an awesome advisor. Advisers will walk you through decisions that you need to make. Advising allows you to get that hold off your account and enables you to enroll in a timely manner. The beauty of walk-ins, so you didn't proactively sign up for an advising time earlier and now you're scrambling trying to get yourself ready. Ta-Da. Walk-ins are the answer. Be patient. Bring a book. And hopefully only after a minimal wit you will be advised and ready to enroll.

All of this to say, the career development center is fantastic. I have used their services SO much since I began school here. The center is free and offers a multitude of resources to students: resume building, mock interviews, career counseling. Yes, you can do it all on your own but don't be vain. Give a professional the chance to give you some outside advise. There are times when we cannot even see the flaws in our decisions because we are the ones who made them or perhaps decisions seem insurmountable and you need to voice that stress to someone. That is what these people live for. This year, my senior year, had been the most usage Ive gotten out of the center. I have seen my career counselor many times to talk about grad school and life choices that are coming up for me. While I was in my previous years I talked about improving my resume to help me get part-time job and discussing my options for career goals after college. I would encourage you to try out the CDC and try to NOT feel like you gained insight afterwards. The CDC plus Fulbright advising center is a super combination!!!!!!

These ducks are cool and so are you!
