Featured Advice:
Exploring careers from a professional’s first-hand perspective is a valuable way to learn if a particular career is an option for you. Informational interviews are often underutilized opportunities to hear “real talk” about careers and to possibly expand your professional network.
Starting with the self-assessment process can give you more choices and increase your confidence that you are on the right career path.
Learn about careers by engaging in discussions with family, friends, faculty, and fellow students and through the following resources.
Career Interest Communities are broad groups of careers that share common features, skill sets, interests, abilities, and activities.
The definitions of “business casual” and “professional” vary by industry and organization as well as position. Be sure to check for the dress code where you will work. In general, professional attire starts with a neutral color suit in a solid or very subtle stripe pattern.
