During my time at Centennial, I participated in many activities on campus. In the second semester, I started working as a Math Tutor and was also elected as Campus Director for CCSAI. In my last semester, I also got hired as a Student Researcher and selected as Volunteer of the Year. Being so active created great networking opportunities to connect with professors, staff members and other students. I secured my first job opportunity by a referral from a peer that I previously tutored.
When we exit from our educational institution, then it is extremely hard to find the door to a workplace that we have been dreaming of. So, it is particularly important to explore connections while we are studying. Also, look for all resources available on campus and around you. For example, Employment Advisors from the Career Services & Co-operative Education department helped me to prepare my Cover letter and Resume.
