Career articles

Quick reads to help you plan your career, build skills, and use opportunities while you are still in college.

Using college years wisely

Focus on a few useful skills, join at least one good project or club, and keep your resume updated every semester.

  • Set 1–2 clear goals for this semester.
  • Take subjects and electives that support those goals.
  • Use college events and fairs to explore companies.

Building real experience

Internships, part‑time work, and serious side projects teach more than just reading theory.

  • Start with small freelance, campus, or open‑source work.
  • Document your work on GitHub and LinkedIn.
  • Ask mentors for feedback on what to improve next.

Growing your network

Many opportunities come from people you already know, not only job portals.

  • Talk to seniors, alumni, and speakers after events.
  • Keep a simple LinkedIn profile with your projects.
  • Stay in touch by sharing updates a few times a year.
