Workshops
Resume Reviews
One of the most frequent requests we get is for resume reviews. In this workshop, we show examples, critique existing resumes, and work through how to present transferable skills and past accomplishments in an effective way.
Practice Interviews
Interviewing is arguably the most critical part of the job seeking process. Having the chance to review interview etiquette, practice challenging questions, and learn the keys to coming across confident are imperative to success.
Career Planning
Career plans are often over overlooked as students prepare for the job search but this tool can be the very thing that keeps a disheartened job seeker from taking a job outside of their degree field. Participants will work through a plan to hold themselves accountable over the long run.
