A Gamecock by Nature

It's my Junior year and it is finally starting to settle in that I really only have a three semester left in college which consists of 15 more classes.  It's so hard to believe that I'm past the half way point since I still remember Freshmen year so vividly in my mind. 

The number one thing on most juniors' minds is "internship."  All of us want one that will give us experience that will essentially be beneficial when we are applying for jobs throughout our Senior year.   Well luckily for us, the Career Center on campus offers a program free of charge called JobMate.  This program has a search engine that allows students in all majors to look for internships available, companies that are visiting the campus, and on and off campus job opportunities.  Another component of this program is a personal profile.  You can upload your resume, cover letters and save jobs that interest you.  There is also a way to RSVP to events and sign-up for interviews.  Thank goodness for technology!  You can be in your room, the library or back at home in your respective state and still access this program online. 

By Junior year it is expected that we are all logged into this program and have had our resumes approved by the CareerCenter so we can upload them.  I have completed this stage and now I'm busy researching the opportunities available.  I do not want to miss any deadlines or events. 

I highly recommend that all of you come to college with a resume or list of activities.  You will edit it as you gain college experience and get involved at Carolina, but it is always beneficial to have a starting point.  I hope you're applications are going well.  Let me know if I can do anything to help.
