As an added bonus, if your student organization is participating in Relay for Life on Saturday, April 5^th, the group (one small and one large) with the greatest turnout from its organization to these Career Services workshops will receive a $250 reward donated by TQL and the Tampa Bay Alumni Chapter!  Come out to one or all and help your group add to its donation to Relay for Life!

And the final event of the week will occur on Friday, April 4^th, when we will have our last career fair of the year, our annual Career Expo, which will be held in Fletcher Lounge from noon to 3 p.m.  We will have over 60 employers who are seeking graduates for full time professional positions after graduation.  A list of employers can be found at https://ccfcc.experience.com/stu/cf_registered_employers?fhnd=6339. Professional attire is REQUIRED for this event.  (Take a look at the right hand side of the page for your “Suit Up” requirements!)

A Semester of Lasts

This will be my last insightful blog post of this semester, so I feel that is fitting to talk about the end of things. For example, just last week I had my last meeting with a colleague. I recently attended my last NACA conference as a student. I’ve had my last winter break, and my last spring break is coming up. For many of you, including myself, this semester signifies your last year as a student. So, what does that mean? Moving on to bigger and better, perhaps. But also, it means that now is the time to cherish your experiences.

This is not just for those of you experiencing lasts this semester, but for every student here at UT. I implore you to take a good look at each day and approach it as a new opportunity, because as soon as it has passed it becomes an opportunity that you cannot reclaim. We here at Career Services are all about seeking opportunities, in any form, and so we hope you will take this advice to heart.

 Speaking of opportunities, I am sad to announce that after spring break I will begin looking for a replacement to take over my responsibilities of Marketing Intern for the Office of Career Services. We don’t have the exact timeline lined out yet, but you can look for the application on Hire-UT the week after spring break. If you have any questions feel free to email me at Joshua.jacobs@spartans.ut.edu.
