It seems like spring semester just started, yet we are not far from spring break. With the feel of
\ntime passing quickly comes a sense of urgency to find a summer job, land that internship, apply
\nfor full time positions or get ready to apply to graduate school. Many students will find
\nthemselves looking for positions based on what they know. I encourage students to think beyond
\nthe obvious.<\/p>\n
Most employers are looking for your ability to demonstrate career ready skills such as
\nprofessionalism, curiosity, coachability, drive, and collaboration. Your ability to be curious will
\nallow you to discover new opportunities. Those that are curious are critical thinkers, problem
\nsolvers, and gather information from unusual places.<\/p>\n
Are you ready to be curious? Starting in March, the Career Center will have several programs
\nthat are geared towards career fields that are open to any major. Our first one will be Careers in
\nLaw and Justice on March 13th , followed by Careers in Sustainable Agriculture on March 27th ,
\nHealth Professions Career Day on April 4th and Careers in Outdoor Recreation and Tourism on
\nApril 25th. By attending one or all of these events, you will be able to learn how your skills and
\ninterests can launch you into a field that you may not have considered.<\/p>\n
At these events, professionals that work within that field will be available to talk with you about
\ntheir career path and their daily activities. At Careers in Law and Justice, you can meet any or
\nall of the following: Maine State Trooper, Border Patrol Agent, Maine Forest Ranger, Maine
\nForest Ranger Pilot, local Police Officer or Maine Game Warden. Not interested in direct law
\nenforcement? How about a career as a lawyer? Meet a representative from the University of
\nMaine School of Law or meet the Secretary of State who has an M.A. in English Literature from
\nthe University of Maine. Could you be the next Secretary of State?<\/p>\n
