6 Final Thoughts

The work we have done in this chapter should be helpful as you narrow down what type of job is right for you. However, this is just the beginning. In your final years at the university, you will want to not only keep in mind what you have learned about yourself, you will also want to work to prepare yourself for the time when you begin to truly seek professional employment. Getting started early on your job search will make the transition to becoming a professional and looking for your career position much easier.

If you get started early you will have time to identify and develop the skills you will need to secure and hold employment, get help finding internship and job openings, locate and secure internship opportunities, get help with resume and job application materials, improve your interviewing skills, and build strong connections with companies and professionals who can play an integral role throughout your career.
