You Can Find Family Just About Anywhere...

It could be the stress from finals, but it's at this time of the semester that you know you have to turn to your support systems, wherever you may find it. I'm feeling very fortunate to have had found a mini-family and source of support, right here at the Career Center! Being brand new to the Hofstra community and being this year's graduate assistant, I've been exposed to a group of supportive and knowledgeable people that made work not feel like work, and they truly have made me feel welcome at Hofstra.

The Career Center Family (Missing MaryBeth!)

I find it's important to realize that when stress levels are high because of that big presentation or internship/job deadlines are looming, that you take a moment to ground yourself and turn to your support system to get you back to a working state.

Stop and think who make up your support system. Friends? Family? Co-workers? Teachers? I'm sure there are multiple groups and people you can turn to. And similarly to how pleasantly surprised I was to find a family here at the Career Center, we welcome you all with open arms to join our family! Give us a call at (516) 463-6060 or go online to hofstra.edu/career to make an appointment and let us support you when you need it!
