Life-Changing Career Advice For College Students!
As we approach the May 2025 graduation season, here are some pointers from Ron Reed, owner of Reed Resumes, Long Island’s #1 resume writing service:
1) Secure hands-on experience in your desired field.
This could be internships, paid positions, volunteering, etc. These experiences will make you incredibly marketable and will differentiate you from your peers who only go to class.
2) Get involved on campus.
Participating in extracurricular activities provides invaluable networking opportunities, produces life-long friendships, and makes you a more marketable job seeker.
3) Work a part-time job.
Become exponentially more marketable by showing employers that you can balance school, extracurriculars, and work.
4) Update your resume and LinkedIn profile right now.
Do it on your own or work with a resume writing service like Reed Resumes, but do it now and make sure that it properly markets your background. I’ll be here in August if you need me, but you’ll be 3+ months removed from graduation, losing your leverage and missing out on opportunities.
Many of my resume writing clients from Long Island just graduated from schools such as St. Joseph’s University, Stony Brook University, LIU, Rutgers, Hofstra, Molloy, SUNY Oneonta, SUNY Binghamton, and SUNY Cortland. And most who did all of the above typically landed more interviews and had multiple job offers to choose from.
Good luck and thanks for reading!
