Shadow a mentor!! In the journey to build a successful career, every experience counts. Whether it's shadowing a mentor, taking on a temporary project, or simply engaging in an informational interview, these opportunities provide invaluable insights into your field of interest. As Kevin Monahan from Notre Dame Career Center wisely suggests, these experiences not only offer a closer look at your target companies but also help shape your future path. It's essential to remember that no opportunity is too small. Even roles like a lifeguard or cashier come with lessons that can enhance your skills and strengthen your résumé. Challenge yourself in every task, no matter how trivial it may seem. Each experience adds a unique layer to your growth, preparing you for the challenges ahead. Make the most of every opportunity, and let it fuel your journey towards success. Students can reach out to alumni or those in their network about job shadowing, temporary projects, or informational interviews to get perspective on the field that interests them most. This is also a great way to check out a target company ahead of the full-time job search. Never take an opportunity for granted Even serving as a lifeguard or cashier can provide students with skills and experiences that will help them in the future and look good on their résumés. “Make the most of whatever opportunity you have”. “Challenge yourself in anything you do.” #Careerguidance #Shadowamentor #Opportunities #studentslife
