Wrapping Up a Summer Job? 3 Things to Do Before You Head Back to College

If you held down a job over the summer, you should know that you did a very good thing for both your finances and your career. After all, the money you earned can be used to pay your upcoming tuition to avoid student debt, or pad your savings so that you have money on hand for emergencies. And from a career perspective, any sort of work experience is a nice thing to add to your resume. But before you say your goodbyes and get ready to head back to school for another semester, here are a few key moves to make first.

Chances are, you'd know how to reach your old teammates at the office should the need or desire arise. But what if the people you got along with were to switch jobs? Would you still have a means of getting in touch? Though there may be the option to connect on sites like LinkedIn, don't chance it. Instead, give out your contact information before heading back to college, and take down the information of those people you're certain you want to keep in touch with.
