YOU’RE ALMOST DONE WITH FALL 2020! You made it! Few final exams, papers, and projects to go—or maybe you’ve already completed your fall semester. With so many things going on, we just wanted to leave you with a couple of reminders and tips of how the UCS can help you before your long Winter Break. HAVE SPRING OR SUMMER INTERNSHIPS IN THE U.S.? DON’T FORGET YOUR CPT APPLICATIONS! How EXCITING! Congratulations! However, it’s IMPORTANT that as an international student, you don’t start your internship until you have successfully processed and received your CPT approval. Make sure you complete the CPT application process for your internship BEFORE you start that opportunity! KISI INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIPS FOR SUMMER 2021 Kelley Institute for Social Impact (KISI) offers summer internships that provide the opportunity to use your business skills to create social change. All interns will work abroad (if travel allows); otherwise, all internships will transition to virtual work. Internship locations include Cape Coast, Ghana; Antigua, Guatemala; Lima, Peru; Johannesburg, South Africa; Madrid, Spain; and Chiang Mai, Thailand. Spend your summer addressing a social issue you’re passionate about and gaining business experience. Check out more information on the KISI website! Applications close on January 19, 2021.

FROM Kelley Connect - Career Services Blog: Update from the Executive Director (Winter) |
Where we are at: It’s been an interesting year and a significantly different fall semester than what we are used to. However, we persevered, adapted, and came away with a lot of new or increased skills in areas such as dealing with ambiguity, virtual interviewing, and finding new ways to network and connect with companies. After the overall job market fell significantly in the spring due to COVID and its related economic restrictions, we saw a nice rebound in the job market during the summer and early fall as well as a significant drop in the unemployment rate from its spring high. The latest government job report indicates that this increase has slowed and that the job market is currently flattening out. While this is something to keep watching, data (both published and what our companies are telling us) continues to support that most companies are still very interested in hiring for entry level roles. What we are hearing from companies: This year’s hiring cycle is not like what we have seen over the past several years – it is going to be much more spread out. Historically, most of our recruiting at Kelley happened in the fall with a much smaller amount of hiring occurring in the spring. This fall, almost all of our usual companies continued to recruit at Kelley, albeit in a virtual manner. Some companies reduced the number of students they were planning on hiring due to continued COVID uncertainty, and a few companies have not yet started their recruitment efforts (particularly in areas such as hospitality and transportation). We continue to expect that a lot of hiring will happen in the spring, with some companies coming back for more students as they see their business pick up, and other companies hiring for the first time this academic year as they now have a better handle on the COVID impact to their businesses. Net net, don’t worry that you have missed everything as you most certainly haven’t! What you should be doing now: Here are some important things that you should be focusing on over the next few months while you are on break:

FROM Kelley Connect - Career Services Blog: Mental Health and Recruitment |
By UCS Peer Coach, Giacomo Eisler – Class of 2022 Being in college during a global pandemic can be very difficult for anyone. Not only are students trying to prepare themselves for future careers, internships, and graduate programs while still performing in their classes; but, many students are also experiencing their first encounter with trauma of this scale. While not immediately evident, according to Leah Campbell, a Healthline contributor, “the emotional turmoil [brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic] is causing symptoms of trauma to manifest in both children and adults.” These symptoms include feeling unsafe or on guard, having an increase in negative thoughts and feelings, and having problems with sleep and concentration. If gone untreated, these symptoms make it incredibly difficult for anyone to focus on something as time consuming and difficult as recruitment and classes. As we approach a second semester under these difficult circumstances, the UCS has asked me to research and compile a list of tips, tricks and resources for helping college students manage their mental health and remain successful. Taking Care of You: The first step to easing the difficulty of the college-pandemic experience is taking care of yourself by identifying and prioritizing your needs paired with reaching out to others for support. No one can or should go through this alone. Reaching out to others for both professional and social support is crucial in making this experience manageable. The Indiana University Health Center has counseling resources available for every student and has even tailored those resources specifically for COVID-related mental health stressors. I highly suggest hopping onto their website: Counseling (CAPS): Student Health Center: Indiana University Bloomington, and taking a look at what they have to offer. You might be surprised by how high-tech and modern some of their resources actually are! Not only do they offer traditional counseling and psychiatric care; but, they also offer group counseling covering all sorts of niche topics, live and pre-recorded mental health workshops, as well as access to expensive, revolutionary software like WellTrack which have been designed to help a new generation cope with their mental health in ways that incorporate our most used devices: cellphones. Taking care of oneself should be our number one priority in these trying times. Do not be afraid to ask for help from friends, family and the professionals at your disposal. Everyone is struggling right now so do not be too hard on yourself! Taking Care of Business: The second step to staying on track in school this year comes with organization and working with others. The challenge that online recruiting has presented students has felt daunting to say the least. An experience that is already confusing and stressful has now evolved into an even more confusing and stressful beast. A great tool for approaching seemingly impossible tasks is to get very organized. Breaking down a goal like: “get an internship,” into: “(1) identify 10 companies I am interested in working at, (2) attend 3 career fair sessions, (3) write a cover letter, etc.” makes it much easier to start and finish a task. Studies have also shown that when you set weekly days and times to work on tasks you are more likely to stick to them. Remember when breaking down major goals that you do not have to do everything at once. You can take your time and approach each step in a calm, manageable manner rather than trying to apply to twenty internships in one night. While organization is very helpful, it is most effective when paired with accountability. One of the easiest ways of making sure you follow through on tasks is by creating an accountability circle. What this means is making a small group with friends or classmates who are also applying to internships and working together on the tasks. Not only does it make monotonous jobs a little bit more fun, but your friends can also help motivate you when you just cannot seem to do it on your own. Do not be afraid to let your friends pick you up when you are down. We are all going through an unprecedented collegiate experience and dealing with new obstacles in our way. With so much drastic change around us it is important to stay grounded, prioritize our mental and physical needs, and approach our goals and responsibilities methodically and with friends. There is no easy fix to the struggle we are all experiencing in these unprecedented times, but I hope the message of approaching it with kindness and others helps you find your own path to doing so. |
FROM Kelley Connect - Career Services Blog: So You Say You Have Been Searching? |
Although applying to jobs online is a part of a job search, it’s just one step to be a potential candidate. Employers and recruiters get hundreds of qualified applications for each position. Conducting a job search with the potential for success requires connecting with people. Regardless of the virtual tools used – Hirevue, resume review tools, Recruiting AI – at the end of the day, a person or group of people makes the decision who to interview and further, who to hire. If you haven’t talked to professionals (notice this word is plural) at a company you’re pursuing, your likelihood of success is just about zero. “But I have limited time,” you say. “I don’t have time to network. What if I’m talking to people and don’t get a job at that company anyway. Isn’t that a waste of time?” No, it’s not a waste of your time. The sooner you embrace the notion that your career is based on relationships, the more successful you’ll be. You’re developing relationships for the foundation of your career, not just for one point in time to get a job out of IU. If you approach your networking in this way 1) it’ll be way more fun 2) your conversations will be more genuine 3) you’ll learn and retain more and 4) you will find success. Yes, it takes time and effort but isn’t your career worth it? If you have questions about how to connect with professionals on LinkedIn, how to develop and maintain professional relationships, or how to utilize your time effectively to search for internship or full time opportunities, set up an appointment with one of our professional coaches. We can help! |
