College is the place where you build the skills necessary to find a job—and it’s beneficial no matter how many years you have left of school. For example, maybe you want to improve your communication abilities, so you take a public speaking course to practice presenting to a group, or you volunteer to answer questions in class. Pretty soon, you’ll notice how those new communication skills aid in every part of your life, from academics to personal relationships.
Choose something that you would like to learn or improve on, and take the necessary steps to reach that goal. You can go to the campus writing center to refine your writing, editing, and proofreading tactics, which will enable you to express yourself clearly, catch typos and logical errors in your thinking, and put together a cover letter and resume. Or maybe you are interested in computer code, search engine optimization, a foreign language, photography, or video editing. Sign up for a class either on or off campus, check out online tutorials, or even ask a talented friend to show you the ropes.
