The experiences you have and people you meet (especially in your field of study) are valuable in connecting you to career opportunities after you graduate. Internships, membership in campus and professional organizations, summer work, volunteer work, informational interviewing, and job shadowing are some of the best ways to gain experience and to become connected. You never know where your next job opportunity will appear, and some of the best jobs are discovered through word of mouth.
