May Flowers
Evergreen state residents often complain about the rain, which is understandable after weeks upon weeks of cloudy days! What we often take for granted, however, is that our seemingly constant drizzle provides us with beautiful greenery year-round. Other parts of the country relish the month of May because it’s one of few times residents get to experience the colors and scents of nature. The reality is that the thing about which we grumble is the very thing that brings us joyful outcomes. The same could be said of the career development process. Let’s be honest; most people don’t particularly enjoy reflecting on their strengths and interests, schmoozing at networking events, writing persuasive cover letters, talking about themselves in interviews, and…well…you get the point. But those who push forward, fight the fatigue and frustration, and resist the temptation to hide under a rock until the sun shines again…those are the job-seekers who end up with the best career opportunities. So don’t avoid the job search and thereby create another cloud to hang over your head…let the UW Career Center help you find a job that brings you year-round joy.
