Be Productive This Summer!



As we move closer to the end of the semester, it becomes more important to begin looking for a way to be productive with the upcoming break. Finding a job or internship is one of the best things a student can do to prepare for the future. Either one can lead to money or experience. It can be daunting to find opportunities for a job or internship however. Fortunately, UMBC offers a great service with both the Shriver Center and their online tool UMBCworks. Both of these will aid in creating a resume and finding places that fit your needs. To begin using these tools, log in to your myUMBC account and go to Topics >>> Jobs and Internships and click on the UMBCworks link. Fill out all the information, draft a resume based on their examples, and schedule an appointment with the career center to meet with a knowledgeable counselor who will look over your resume before approving it so you can begin looking for an opportunity that matches your needs. Getting your resume approved should only take a day or two. Good luck and enjoy the time you have before break!
