Figuring out what to wear on a daily basis can be challenging. It gets even more difficult when you are dressing for an interview, career fair, internship, first day of work…the list goes on! We hear a lot of you ask about what you should wear (which is great- it shows you’re conscious of having to look professional) but unfortunately there is no single answer to this question. A lot of what to wear is industry based or depends on the situation. For instance for an interview with GE I would wear a suit, no question. But if I were […]

Even though most applications require a cover letter and resume there are a few industries and areas that will also ask that you submit a writing sample. During the interview your spoken communication skills are assessed, but since some positions require various forms of written communication, the company may also want evidence of how well you express yourself in written form – in comes the writing sample. While any employer whose position requires writing skills may want samples, writing samples are more common in publishing, public relations, advertising, media, research, and law. If you are a typical college student, your […]

You may think because you are sitting down in front of desk you won’t be able to see your legs but this is not a guarantee so let’s just err on the side of caution and put some pants on.

But that is exactly what I am doing with my grown-up life. As a Roadtripper with the public television series “Roadtrip Nation,” I spent the summer traveling across the […]

There may be a debate about who actually said this famous line but there is no debate in its call to action, “go west!” Recently the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) released a survey that indicates that the “Midwest Leads in Hiring Projection Increase.” The good news is: hiring plans are increasing! According to the survey, Responses indicate that the increase in college hiring will be highest in the Midwest, where employers expect to hire 18.5 percent more college graduates in 2012 than they did in 2011. Employers in the West also anticipate a double-digit increase—11.5 percent. Why […]

We discussed Case Interviews, which is all well and good but not everyone will be subjected to a case interview so now I’d like to turn our attention to Behavioral Interviews. Behavioral Interviews, or Behavioral-Based Interviews (BBI), is a technique used by employers to learn about your past behavior in particular situations to help determine how you would perform on the job and fit into the organization. “Enthusiasts believe that past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior…more recent behavior is a better predictor of future behavior than older behavior, and that long-standing trends are better predictors of behavior […]

We came across this in the Message Center (that place is full of information!) and wanted to make sure we pointed it out here as many students find themselves needing to request transcripts for career-related reasons, especially for graduate schools (that’s leading to a career so I’m counting it).

Online transcript requests at this site require the use of a debit/credit card, and requests will NOT be processed until payment has been received. Information on transcript […]

Up until last week Mary was working for the YoYo merchandising team but she has now moved over to the merchandising team for Casa.com, the newest site for Quidsi Inc. which launching on mid-February, for home goods.

Is your dream to swim in your money like Scrooge McDuck? Just me. OK. Either way, you work hard for your money and if you love it as much as I do you’ll at least want to learn how to budget, invest and save as much of it as possible. Budgets in college vary greatly from those in the “real world” and once outside the bubble you’ll also be expected to know how to set up your 401K (or other retirement package), do your taxes…eventually get a mortgage! All this stuff can be overwhelming but if you start learning and […]

On-Campus Recruiting is starting back up and I thought now would be a good time to talk about Case Interviews. You may have heard this term thrown around but do you really know what a case interview is? If you are hoping to go into the management, consulting or the investment banking area then you definitely NEED TO KNOW because a case interview will almost definitely be a part of your interview process. In a case interview the job applicant is given a question, situation, problem or challenge and asked to solve it. The case problem or challenge is often […]

That you did Bucknell, that you did. And now I’m going to take something cool and turn it into career advice. I know…I hope I don’t ruin it for you. Last night I attended the John Legend talk and performance and was blown away, much like the rest of the crowd (at least according to Twitter). I don’t know if it’s just because I work at the CDC or not but I felt like his talk was very much about careers; not being afraid to take risks, following your passion, trying something new, failing and starting over.

It should come as no surprise to you that Hollywood’s portrayal of “real life” is less than real. No that’s being too nice, it’s a flat out farce. Reality TV is anything but reality and shows like Gossip Girl makes it seem like once you get into one Ivy you can go to any of them and internships are easy to walk away from, especially for a frenemy. If anyone here thought these disillusions were based on anything resembling real life then I’m sorry to have to burst your bubble. Why, you may be asking, is this relevant to a […]

We came across this article from our Alumni Career Services office and wanted to share it as we found it was full of some great information. Alison Doyle, from About.com, got to spend some time time talking with Indeed.com’s co-founder and CEO, Paul Forster, about online job searching and how to get the best results when using a job search engine. Paul suggests that, “Job seekers narrow their search as much as possible in order to find jobs that fit their experience, skills, and desired location.” He goes on to say that it makes sense to “Focus on finding exactly […]

It’s the last day of finals and the few cars left are packing up, ready to leave our little bubble for Winter Break. But just because you aren’t on campus doesn’t mean that you have to leave the CDC behind you. First of course…take a break! You deserve it. You’ve been working hard and, just like you have to recharge your iPhone, your body needs to recharge its own battery so rest up and don’t feel guilty.

…go you! But seriously if you are going to be doing an Externship over Winter Break here are a few tips: Make sure you have contacted your sponsor to set up your externship details; like date and time, initial meeting location, directions, parking recommendations, appropriate attire. I bold this for a reason, when in doubt over dress! Suits and business attire always go over well, even in places that may have a more relaxed dress code; jeans, sweatpants, yoga pants not so much. Once all the details are set up – arrive 10 minutes early and HAVE FUN! Take it […]

Before we leave you for Thanksgiving Break we wanted to give you some sample networking questions to go along with our “Identifying Connections” post. Background What is your educational background? Major? How important is graduate school for your field? What special preparations do you have that you think are important for your job? Could you recommend some courses that I should be taking right now? What kind of experience is necessary to enter the field? If you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently? Lifestyle: What type of hours do you work? How demanding is […]

Today it’s even easier to identify connections for networking. Let’s start with one word: LinkedIn. We have a Bucknell Alumni LinkedIn group that is growing every day and it’s a no brainer to start there. Apart from the group, LinkedIn (in general) is a great way to make connections and build your network but make sure you are doing it wisely! A second, and uniquely Bucknell way, to build your network is by participating in our Bucknell Professional Networks. These are already conveniently organized with alumni by industry which takes out a lot of the work on your end. These […]

As part of our “Networking Month” we’ve highlighted that, before you start networking and setting up informational interviews, it is important to know yourself. I know we’ve written about Elevator Pitches before but we’d like to just take this time to reiterate and add on. So you may still be wondering what is an “elevator pitch”, why do I need one, and how do I get one? The reason to develop a short “elevator pitch” or “commercial” about yourself is to be able to quickly and simply explain who you are, what you could do for an employer and/or what […]

So, last week I decided to dub November “Networking Month,” and we started with the basics of Networking. As promised, this week we are going to discuss some “Networking Essentials” Sometimes networking happens where we least expect, like at a Football Tailgate, and sometimes it happens right where we expect it, like at Bucknell Professional Network event. Regardless of where it happens these essentials can help you feel a bit more prepared. Before (if there is a before): Know yourself. Sounds easy right? But it’s is important to identify your values, what is important to you, your interests and have […]

I’d say that one of the only downsides to this job is learning about all the awesome opportunities out there that I am no longer eligible for. For instance: Princeton in Africa (PiAf), which offers yearlong fellowship opportunities with a variety of organizations that work across the African continent. PiAf Fellows work in service-oriented positions in many different fields, including humanitarian aid, public health, conservation, and education. The more I checked in to this fellowship to write about it the more I wanted to apply. I ran into this inspiring blog, Beyond the Gate, featuring first-person perspectives from recent alums […]
