As a senior at UNH, I’ve seen countless of students (including myself) stressing out about nothing to do with academic work! It seems that much of the stress that has descended about the senior class pertains with life after school. Everything from finding jobs, interviews, graduate school applications and details such as where am I going to live next year have been topics of discussion among many of my peers. Help is always appreciated and one place to receive guidance to transitioning to the “real world” is the website, Students 2 Business.
So what can you do on the Students 2 Business (S2B) website? Yes, you can of course find jobs from employers ranging from Microsoft, to Verizon, and even the CIA. You can post not only your resume for potential employers to find, but also talk about some of the important experiences that have shaped who you are as a professional and colleague. Networking has always been important and sometimes the saying is true, it is about who you know instead of what you know! The S2B website allows you to network and connect with not just employers but fellow colleagues as well. Who knows, maybe one of your friends can help you get a job at his/her company or vice versa. Lastly, moving into the real world is an exciting but anxious process and the S2B website shares lots of tips on everything from moving to different cities to providing information about different fields.
Take a look at the slides to learn more about the benefits of Students 2 Business, how to sign up, and how to connect with fellow S2B members!
