Keys to Career SuccessCareer planning can feel stressful, messy and undefined. At the Walter Center,we help you navigate this process by showing you how to...INTERNSHIPRESEARCHPART-TIME JOBSTUDENT ORGS.VOLUNTEERJOB SHADOWPATH 1PATH 2Pursue Impactful ExperienceEven if you don’t know what you want,start getting experience! You’ll developself-knowledge about your likes, dislikesand “must haves” in the world of work.You’ll acquire marketable skills, too. It canbe low commitment, like a job shadow, ormore involved, like an internship.Design Your LifeWhat about your experiences engaged andenergized you? What themes emerged?How do they impact what you want to doafter graduation? It may be tempting tosettle on one answer, but because thefuture is unpredictable, we encourage youto be flexible and develop multiple plans.Share Your StoryConnect the dots between the experiencesyou’ve gained and the places you want togo. You’ll tell your liberal arts story — howyou came to your major, what you learnedfrom your experiences, and why you’vedecided on a particular destination —through application materials, networkingand interviewing.Build Meaningful ConnectionsYou want to keep in touch with peoplelike the faculty you speak with duringoffice hours or staff (like career coaches!)who help you make decisions or mostimportantly, IU alumni you reach outto for guidance and employers youmeet on campus.
