One of the best parts of my job is helping students figure out what they can do with their interests, major, and ultimately their Chapman experience. And here\u2019s something I want you to know right away: you do not need to have your career figured out before you come see me. In fact, I would much rather meet you while you\u2019re still exploring! College is the perfect time to try things and discover new interests. Take a class outside your comfort zone, consider adding a minor that complements your major or introduces you to an entirely different field, get involved on campus, study abroad, volunteer, conduct research, or try an internship. Sometimes the experience you least expect is the one that changes the direction you want to go. This is also what looks great on a resume!<\/p>\n<p>I want to help you learn how to network and use the incredible resources already available to you at Chapman University. Networking doesn\u2019t have to mean walking into a room full of strangers and handing out business cards. It can start with talking to a professor, connecting with a Chapman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/showcase\/wilkinson-college-of-arts-humanities-and-social-sciences\/?viewAsMember=true\">alum on LinkedIn<\/a>, attending a <a href=\"https:\/\/events.chapman.edu\/calendar\/wilkinson\/index.php\">Wilkinson event<\/a>, asking someone about their career, or letting me introduce you to someone in an industry that interests you. We can work together on your resume, LinkedIn, internships, interviewing, graduate, or law school. I will teach you how to turn what you are learning in the classroom into skills employers are looking for. There are so many resources available to you; you just need to know they exist and how to use them. You don\u2019t have to navigate all of this on your own. I am here for you!<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s AI. I know many students are wondering what AI means for their future careers and whether the jobs they are preparing for today will even look the same a few years from now. The reality is that AI is changing virtually every industry, but I don\u2019t want you to be afraid of it. I want to help you learn how to navigate it, use it responsibly, and understand where your human skills still matter. Communication, critical thinking, creativity, adaptability, relationship-building, judgment, and the ability to work with people will continue to be incredibly valuable. You will certainly get this as a Wilkinson student. Your goal shouldn\u2019t be to compete with AI; it should be to learn how to work alongside it and understand how it is changing your field.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s my challenge to you this semester: come meet me before you need me. Stop by to introduce yourself, <a href=\"https:\/\/app.joinhandshake.com\/access?school=chapman\">make an appointment with me on Handshake<\/a>, attend one of our career or alumni events, connect with me on LinkedIn, or email me saying, <i>\u201cErin, I have absolutely no idea what I want to do.\u201d<\/i> We can work on that! So please, come say hello. Just don\u2019t wait until April of your senior year to walk into my office and say, \u201cHi, I graduate next month\u2026and I think I need a job.\u201d But if you do? Don\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll still help you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m Erin Berthon, Manager of Career Development and Alumni Relations for Wilkinson College, and
