Job Corner with Ms. Whelton, PE

If you don’t have a summer job opportunity there is still plenty of time!   Check the CCO out for positions.  I will continue to email and update opportunities after the semester ends. 
 
This is most likely the last newsletter of the semester, so I want to congratulate all of you, in particular our graduating students.  Congratulations to those of you who have opportunities lined up following graduation or for the summer.  I know there are some of you who are still looking for opportunities.  You may be tired of applying and not hearing back from companies or sad about the position you didn’t get after a great interview.  Don’t give up believing in yourself!  If a company isn’t interested in you then it is best you didn’t get the position.  
 
Some things to keep in mind while looking for opportunities that I found on LinkedIn from motivational speaker Brigette Hyacinth: 
  1. You can be the best candidate and still not get selected. 
  2. If you didn't get the job, it was never meant for you. 
  3. You weren't rejected, you were redirected. 
  4. Your value does not decrease based upon someone's inability to see your worth. 
  5. Believe in yourself and keep trying, the right door will open for you.
“Not getting something you’ve always wanted is a chance to try out something new”. Tim Herrera recently wrote a great article for the NY Times on thinking differently about rejection.  
 
So don’t give up! There are still plenty of opportunities out there.  Keep applying online, checking, and applying to opportunities via the CCO, LinkedIn, and my emails.  I’m here all summer if you need to talk about your resume, opportunities, etc.  We can talk via email, over the phone, through zoom, or you could come to the office.  Come up with backup plans-remember any experience is good experience in regard to internships on your resume.  Have a great summer.
