Career Assistance
Jeff Manges, Coordinator of Sophomore Career Services is available to students for their career development needs.
Sophomore and second year students still face many questions as they transition from being a bright eyed freshman to feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed as a Sophomore. Sophomores feel more pressure to declare a major and have a clear career direction. They feel pressure to plan for internships and careers, and to figure out who they are and where they are going.
UCF Career Services can provide you with a compass to navigate your direction and clarify your path.
During your sophomore year it is recommended that you:
- Complete your introductory courses in your prospective major.
- Declare a major.
- Meet with your academic advisor to plan your course of study.
- Concentrate on academics - strive for good grades.
- Do a self-assessment: compile interests, strengths, skills, abilities, and values.
- Make a tentative career plan, setting short- and long-term goals.
- Work on gaining experience that will help you find a job when you graduate.
- Meet with professionals for informational interviewing or job shadowing.
- Attend Career Services workshops and Career Panels.
- Explore occupations - learn what skills are needed, the demand, and in what industries the occupation is used.
