What Should I Do First?
Spend some time at the NIU Major WebLinks (http://www.niu.edu/careerservices/links/)
and become familiar with the occupations and the industries within your area of interest.
Write a resume! Resources are available in the Career Resource Center and Career Services office. Type in "resume writing" in any
search engine and you'll get many additional resources. NOTE: Don't have someone else
write your resume. The process of writing your resume is an important step in your
interview preparation.
Be sure to register for the "Careers Course" within your major department. (Most
departments offer a course of this type for Juniors/Seniors. Talk with your advisor.) These courses focus on
career development and job search skills including continuing development of your resume and
interviewing tips.
