The Office of Career and Professional Development recommends the Ready Day 1 Career Plan to assist Georgia Southern students in preparing for life after graduation and to be career ready! This plan was developed based on Career Readiness competencies and standards that employers are looking for. Students can even take their goals for career readiness to the next level by becoming “Ready Day 1 Certified.” Certified students will receive a special cord at graduation and ensure employers they are, in fact, ready for success on the first day.


Below are three levels of career readiness that students can progress through during their college experience to ensure they are Ready Day 1:

  • Take a career assessment and meet with your Career & Internship Advisor
  • Conduct informational interviews and job shadowing with professionals in your career field of interest
  • Get involved! Participate in activities and explore campus organizations. Eagle Engage is a great place to start
  • Enroll in GSU 2131: Career Exploration
  • Explore career readiness competencies to learn about what employers are looking for in candidates
  • Seek part-time, summer, and volunteer opportunities to explore career interests and gain valuable experience
  • Research companies of interest for internship or co-op opportunities
  • Clean up your social media profiles
  • Create a Handshake profile and download the app
