5 Benefits Of Career Development Services

1. Resume Building

One of the most traditional and effective services of CDS is their resume building workshops. This can be helpful for EVERYONE. If you've never made a resume before or even if you think yours looks pretty good, no matter what step you're at, CDS is the best resource for you.

2. Career Paths

So maybe you're stuck between two prominent interests of yours, or maybe you just don't know what area of work is best for you at all. The CDS provides systematic tests that can help you decipher where your talents and passions fit into your field— all for free.

3. Internships

We all know that internships are the stepping stones of career paths, and not to mention fantastic resume builders, but how do you know what type of internship to get? Or where to even look for one? Well, CDS covers that and much more. Even just the word "internship" itself can be intimidating, and as college students, it can be difficult to know where to begin, your advisor can be there for you throughout the process and make it easier on you.

4. Networking

Networking can be one of the most frustrating and flat out annoying happenstances that we as college students have to participate in. But the CDS can help you maneuver networking events in a way that can make them painless... and dare I say even a little bit of fun. I hated networking events until I talked to my CDS advisors, they helped me look at networking in a different way and practice conversational concepts that helped ease me into networking events.

5. Guidance

Whether you think you've got it all figured out or not, the CDS is there for you. Thinking about life after college can be absolutely terrifying, but it doesn't have to be. Career Development Services purpose is to make the big questions easier to answer, and the big decisions easier to make. So schedule an appointment, you might be surprised at how helpful it can truly be.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
