“Career development is your opportunity to gain experience, explore, and implement a pathway to success. First, enjoy the process. Career development can be fun and exciting, and you can select one or more areas of interest. Next, establish short and long-term goals with assigned completion dates. Finding a mentor in your field of interest would be great as they can provide direction, networking opportunities, and lived experiences. Remember to, participate in internships and work-study opportunities as they will help you build your resume by setting yourself apart from others and demonstrating theoretical knowledge to real-world services. Finally, take advantage of the numerous services offered by the Duke Career Center. Getting started early is critical to your success.”
