5 Benefits Of Career Development Services

1. Resume Building

One of the most traditional and effective services of CDS is their resume building workshops. This can be helpful for EVERYONE. If you've never made a resume before or even if you think yours looks pretty good, no matter what step you're at, CDS is the best resource for you.

2. Career Paths

So maybe you're stuck between two prominent interests of yours, or maybe you just don't know what area of work is best for you at all. The CDS provides systematic tests that can help you decipher where your talents and passions fit into your field— all for free.

3. Internships

We all know that internships are the stepping stones of career paths, and not to mention fantastic resume builders, but how do you know what type of internship to get? Or where to even look for one? Well, CDS covers that and much more. Even just the word "internship" itself can be intimidating, and as college students, it can be difficult to know where to begin, your advisor can be there for you throughout the process and make it easier on you.

4. Networking

Networking can be one of the most frustrating and flat out annoying happenstances that we as college students have to participate in. But the CDS can help you maneuver networking events in a way that can make them painless... and dare I say even a little bit of fun. I hated networking events until I talked to my CDS advisors, they helped me look at networking in a different way and practice conversational concepts that helped ease me into networking events.

5. Guidance

Whether you think you've got it all figured out or not, the CDS is there for you. Thinking about life after college can be absolutely terrifying, but it doesn't have to be. Career Development Services purpose is to make the big questions easier to answer, and the big decisions easier to make. So schedule an appointment, you might be surprised at how helpful it can truly be.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
