Procrastination and the Job Search

By: Kandice Thorn

The year has flown by and we are already fast approaching spring semester finals.  Around this time of year, as many of our students prepare to graduate, I start getting queries from people who previously hadn't thought much about the job search but suddenly are realizing that the entire year has passed them by.  The far off haze of post-graduation employment is suddenly coming sharply into focus.

"How do I start looking for a job?" they ask. "Should I start networking now?"

Obviously, you're much better off if you began preparing your resume, networking, etc. early on.  But if you didn't do this, are you without hope?  No!  It's never too late to start.  Here are some tips to help the procrastinators among us make up for lost time.

Eat, Drink, Be Merry... and Strategize

Did anyone notice the chill in the air this morning?  Winter is rapidly approaching, bringing with it the end of the fall semester.  Before you know it, you'll be handing in your last final and running off to enjoy a few weeks of well deserved rest.  As you should.  But I also want to encourage you to consider winter break as a time to review your career strategy.
