Seniors’ To-Do List for Winter Break

by Betsy Chapman

The Office of Personal and Career Development has asked us to share some information about what students should be doing over Winter Break to help prepare them in their journey from college to career. Vice President for Career Development, Andy Chan, writes the Heart of the Matter blog, and today’s message is for senior parents and families.

“Winter Break is CRUNCH time for your senior! As they wrap up their second semester at Wake Forest, it is crucial that your senior is prepared with a flawless resume and strong interviewing skills. In today’s ultra-competitive job market, it’s not sufficient to just be OK at interviewing.  Practicing interviews will make a real difference. When your student returns to Wake Forest, remind them to sign up for a Mock Interview to practice these skills.

Here are three easy things that you can encourage your senior student to do while they are home.”  Read Andy Chan’s full blog entry for senior parents.
