Senior year. Hard to believe. I'm going to have to start focusing on what I'm going to do after I graduate in May, whether it's grad school or jumping right into the industry (biomedical/mechanical engineering).

Yesterday I went to a resume workshop hosted by VCS, Viterbi Career Services. The workshop focused on the content of technical resumes, so it was really catered toward what we as engineers need to put on there. Going in, I thought my resume was pretty good, but I learned some interesting formatting tips when I was there...how to make your resume appear longer, how to squeeze everything onto one page, which sections can be optional, which sections to highlight. I'll need to set aside some time next week to take a look at my resume and put the VCS suggestions to good use. The Viterbi Career Conference is coming up, and so is the Career Fair. Especially since it's my senior year, I need to be extra- on top of things so that I don't miss any awesome opportunities in the wake of graduating eight months from now.
