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.
At some point of course your parents may start nagging you to get up before 3 pm and people may start asking you “what your plans are.” Waking before 3 pm we can’t really help with (but we do agree with your parents here!) but the second question is where we can come in. Here are a few things you can do from home:
- If you haven’t come into the CDC now is a good time to check us out and see what we are all about. Make sure you check out the top right of every page to connect to more student resources through myBucknell.
- Now all students can get access to the Alumni Directory through B-Link, while you are at home take the steps to get access …it’s easy!
- Are you doing an Externship? Awesome! Good for you.
- Catch up on some light reading on the blog. I highly recommend our November Networking month series! While you are at it…why don’t you just go ahead and subscribe to the blog or add the RSS Feed in myBucknell so you don’t miss out on any posts during the semester.
- Follow Us – Twitter is at least 3 years old now so it’s time to hang up those reservations and get on board…and we’ve heard of lots of great stories of people getting their jobs through Twitter, like this one.
- Like Us for your favorite passive way to still stay in touch!
- Find us on Google+ …maybe we can hang out?! Too soon? OK. Just add us to a circle that I would entitle “Awesome resources I get for free”
- Check out our Pinterest! Have your parents check out our Job Seeker Gift Guide?
- Add the Bucknell.Career Google calendar – we’ve got at least 4 career fairs coming up in the Spring Semester!
- Add the myCareerCenter Gadget into myBucknell – Then you will have quick and easy access to various resources we subscribe to like The Vault, Career Search, the BRIDGE and more.
- Check out the Bucknell Alumni LinkedIn group – but before you do make sure you read all our tips on using LinkedIn or watch our prezi.
- Watch some great job search videos (only 1-3 minutes long!)
Geez…there I go overwhelming you again! You don’t have to do them all but we hope this lists of easy ways to connect helps you. Maybe you’ll even make an appointment to come see us when you return to campus; we’d love to see you!
Until then have a great Winter Break!
