Dear Class of 2020

May 10, 2020

Class of 2020 bannerDear Class of 2020,

It’s safe to say that the world you anticipated entering after graduation is not the reality facing you.  But contrary to what the memes say, we like to believe this isn’t actually the apocalypse.  Eventually, businesses will open again and hiring freezes will thaw.  And when that happens, YOU WILL BE READY!

You have done the work.  You have had your resume reviewed, you’ve mastered your skills, you’ve connected with alumni and had endless informational interviews.

Know that as you navigate this new job market, the Career Development Center will still be here to assist you in any way possible.  We’ll review your resume again, connect you with more alumni, help you prepare for that virtual interview coming up.  Because as alumni, you have access to our office for life.

Be sure to keep checking your Handshake account for the newest opportunities that come through.  Make an appointment with a career counselor.  Join Skidmore College Career Connections on LinkedIn.  Create your account in the Career Advisor Network.

Congratulations are absolutely in order for all the hard work you’ve put in to get this far!  You should be extremely proud of the accomplishments you've achieved while at Skidmore.

Sending each and every one of you virtual high fives.  Please keep in touch.

Your Friends (For Life),

The Team at the Career Development Center
