Managing <strong>Career</strong> Transitions<br />

Preparing for Life after<br />

Graduation<br />

<strong>DePaul</strong>’s career resources can ease the transition<br />

By Matthew Neverusky, Peer <strong>Career</strong> Advisor<br />

Do you know what you would like to do? Have you looked into any<br />

companies? Have you thought more about grad school?<br />

For many graduating seniors - particularly those who are uncertain<br />

about what life after commencement will bring - these questions may<br />

be all too familiar. For me and my father, these questions were part of a<br />

daily routine the summer after I finished college. We would meet in<br />

the kitchen over breakfast. He’d be getting ready for work; I was<br />

usually recovering from a late night with other recent grads who were<br />

all trying hard to postpone the inevitable. I can’t remember if my<br />

friends and I were celebrating the beginning of a new life or if we were<br />

desperately clinging to our fading youth before the storm of adulthood<br />

and responsibility. To be honest, it was probably the latter.<br />

In time, my father’s questions and suggestions turned into written notes<br />

and lists. <strong>The</strong> lists I couldn’t ignore; they were the lists of a person who<br />

supported me all my life, pushed me to always do more with myself, and<br />

made it possible for me to enter university and complete my degree. My<br />

inaction wasn’t because I didn’t want to work. I had been so focused on<br />

my studies, after graduation I didn’t know how to put my Bachelor of<br />

Science in Biology to good use. At the time, the small New York<br />

university I attended didn’t have much of a career center. Internet<br />

resources were in their infancy,<br />

so job hunt assistance consisted<br />

of sorting through stacks of job<br />

and resume books.<br />

Do you know<br />

what you would<br />

like to do?<br />

Now, as a graduate student in<br />

<strong>DePaul</strong>’s School of Education,<br />

I’m amazed at the variety of<br />

career development and job search resources available to <strong>DePaul</strong><br />

students and alumni. Whether you’re postponing the job hunt until<br />

after your last ‘summer of freedom’ or are already in the throes of the<br />

job search process, you’ve got resources ready and waiting to help you.<br />

• Trying to find out what you’re qualified for or looking for ways to<br />

begin your career? Research the “What can I do with a major...?”<br />

database at http://careercenter.depaul.edu/. You can also visit a career<br />

advisor at <strong>DePaul</strong>’s Loop or Lincoln Park campuses - they’re on the job<br />

even in the summer and can help you narrow down your options, fine<br />

tune a resume, research a salary and more.<br />

Introducing: My Two Cents <strong>DePaul</strong><br />

continued from page 1<br />

My Two Cents <strong>DePaul</strong> covers topics ranging from splitting<br />

a sushi bill amongst friends to career networking while<br />

riding the CTA. “<strong>The</strong> blog reaches students on a different<br />

level because we’re using our own experiences,” says Sunia,<br />

a My Two Cents blogger currently in her third year<br />

majoring in IT and Psychology. “<strong>The</strong> job hunting and<br />

money management topics are contextualized in familiar<br />

scenarios so students can relate to them better. It’s a fun<br />

and easy way to read about what you can do and what you<br />

should avoid in terms of money management and career<br />

building.“<br />

Pilot student bloggers Amanda, Jorge, Taryn, and Sunia<br />

represent the diverse student body at <strong>DePaul</strong>. Amanda is a<br />

senior in the College of Communication minoring in<br />

Spanish. She has given tips and encouragement to job<br />

seekers and provided resources for students to consult<br />

when determining how much money they can earn with<br />

their type of degree.<br />

Jorge is an International Studies major graduating this<br />

June. He has blogged about such topics as escalating food<br />

prices, calculating tips, socializing with no cash, and<br />

working overseas as an English teacher. Jorge even used<br />

search, don’t forget that you can still access <strong>Career</strong> <strong>Center</strong><br />

resources and attend events as an alumnus. During the<br />

academic year, consider attending job fairs and networking<br />

events; they’re a great way to find a position and build your<br />

network with other working professionals.<br />

I don’t regret my list- and question-filled post-college<br />

summer, as it was a learning experience. But I do wonder<br />

what my life would have been like if I had been better<br />

prepared for the next step. A little career development<br />

direction could have saved me a lot of time and my father a<br />

lot of unanswered questions. �<br />

his postings to contemplate a choice between working in<br />

Korea or Thailand, and sought feedback and insight from<br />

blog readers.<br />

Graduate student, Taryn, from the School of Public Service,<br />

shares her job search and interview experiences. Bolstered by<br />

the support of her family during the process, she recently<br />

wrote a tribute blog to her mother whom she calls her<br />

cheerleader. Taryn encourages all students to “find someone<br />

who pushes you to try harder, be a better a person, and<br />

succeed. Find someone who will give you truthful feedback.<br />

Find someone who has been through the same experience.”<br />

My Two Cents was created to be not only a resource, but a<br />

community as well. Visitors to the site are encouraged to<br />

leave comments offering their own tips and build a<br />

dialogue. Students, alumni, and faculty have already given<br />

their suggestions and feedback on the postings.<br />

Student Employee Receives Award For Exceptional<br />

continued from page 1<br />

Work<br />

<strong>The</strong> Student Employee of the Year award is given<br />

annually to the student worker who exemplifies the<br />

mission of <strong>DePaul</strong> <strong>University</strong> and has worked to fulfill<br />

that mission within their department or office. This<br />

year’s winner was Yazmin San Miguel of the School of<br />

Education’s GEARUP program. Yazmin works as a<br />

Student Advocate and oversees GEARUP programrelated<br />

activities for students designed to increase<br />

academic achievement, career development and college<br />

readiness at Farragut High School.<br />

When asked why he nominated her for the award,<br />

Yazmin’s supervisor, Paul J. Reibman said, “<strong>DePaul</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong>’s mission is dedicated to helping the<br />

disadvantaged. Yazmin supports this mission in a<br />

number of ways. Born in Mexico, her father left to<br />

establish himself before sending for her mother and<br />

sisters. Her parents raised her with an intimate<br />

knowledge of Christianity, its values and morals. She is<br />

a regular volunteer at her church and helps with services.<br />

Growing up in an immigrant suburb community she<br />

learned the importance of education for all. She<br />

witnessed the lack of proper medical care for immigrants<br />

and decided to go to medical school to provide better<br />

care for those who need it. In essence, her life is a<br />

reflection of Vincentian values.”<br />

Yazmin will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in<br />

Biological Sciences this June. <strong>The</strong> <strong>DePaul</strong> community is<br />

proud to have a dedicated, committed student and will be<br />

honored to call Yazmin an alumnus upon her graduation<br />

in the spring.<br />

Congratulations Yazmin and special thanks to all student<br />

employ es who continue to contribute to the su ce s of their<br />

departments! �
