What do you need to focus on most?

Based on where you're at with the internship or job search process, please determine which of the three assignments below you'd like to complete. Choose ONE of the options below. Each activity lists how you should upload your assignment for credit.

Option 1: If you're still exploring possibilities...

Utilize the LinkedIn alumni search or What Can I Do With This Major to get ideas of careers in which you might be interested. Find and reach out to someone on Cal Poly Career Connections or LinkedIn who works in that field. Submit a screenshot (upload as a jpeg or word doc) of the sent message from Career Connections or LinkedIn.

Option 2: If you're ready to search for opportunities...
Use MustangJobs, idealist.org (for nonprofit and social justice-oriented roles), indeed.com, USAJobs (for roles in the federal government), or company/organization sites to find a position to which you plan to apply. To complete this assignment, copy and paste the web URL for the job posting AND complete a text entry that answers: 1. Why are you interested in this position and company/organization? 2. How are you uniquely qualified for this position?

Option 3: If you're ready to begin applying...
Work on tailoring your resume, cover letter, Career Connections, or LinkedIn account. If working on a resume or cover letter, upload it as a pdf. If working on CPCC or LinkedIn, copy and paste your URL.
