Summer for Opportunity

With only finals exams to go, we NSU students can already smell the summer break; some of us will go  back north or abroad to visit our families, some will take advantage of the beautiful SoFlo weather and go on beach season, and some will simply stay for summer classes. Whatever the case is, we  will have plenty of free time until august when school comes back, so the question is: what to do with all that time? Well the office of career development recommends taking steps forward in your career… Well duh…

As most of you might already know, about 80% of jobs are given to people thanks to who they know, and what better way to introduce yourself to the people in your field of interest than by working with them as an intern. Additionally, Internships provide valuable experience and help build résumés; and most importantly help people understand a field in depth, and sometimes can help decide weather a career is right for someone or not. To all of this we can add (given that it is a paid internship) that internships help make some extra money for the new semester.

Because of these and many other reasons getting an internship is the best thing you can do in your summer, and if you don't believe look it up. Bad thing is, given that its already almost May most internships have already been filled if you haven't got one yet; but there are always opportunities available waiting, and at the Office of Career Development we are specialists in getting you internships and opportunities. So drop by our office either in the DeSantis or Horvitz building and let us help you make this summer a life-changing one.
