Procrastinating

It is sunny outside, the theme on your gmail is showing blue skies with no clouds. You can walk without the wind cutting into your skin and your eyes peaking through a small hole between your hat and your scarf. All this weather makes you want to do is procrastinate, especially on your job or internship search.

Even though summer is fast approaching there are still a few deadlines that haven't elapsed yet, which means there are still jobs to be had in the world. If you still haven't gotten your dream job do a final lap. Go onto e-recruiting, follow up with places you have already applied to, or take a new angle. If you are looking for a job, consider applying for internships instead. Sure, they aren't forever, but they will give you a strong start and some experience while you are still job searching. This way you keep up your skills sets and learn new things instead of laying around lazily on your parent's couch. Additionally internships will give you more experience to put on your resume, making you a stronger canidate for jobs you may want to apply for in the future. Even consider taking an unpaid internship. Sure, its hard not making bank . . . but the experience will make up for it. Again, you aren't making money just laying around all summer, so why not get something out of your lazy days.

I know there are more opportunities out there. The key is to have everything ready so when you see that final place to apply with a fast approaching deadline, you can get your information out ASAP. This is your final call to arms. Don't get lazy or apathetic now. There is still time. Stick with me.
