When it comes to choosing what you are going to do when you graduate or for part–time work or a summer job, do you find yourself asking any of these questions?

1. Where can I get help with a resume?
2. Who can help me write a cover letter?
3. How can a portfolio help me during an interview?
4. What is an informational interview? How can they help me?
5. An interview? What kinds of questions will I be asked?
6. How can networking help me in my career planning?
7. How can I find a job through networking?

Answer: Getting any kind of work experience or job is sometimes difficult to balance when you are a full–time student. There are some typically common ways most people try to find work, but they are not always effective. Did you know that 70–80% of jobs are found by implementing non traditional job searches like networking?

Take the next step by preparing to present yourself and networking with others.

Career Development coaches students how to prepare resumes and cover letters. We coach our students about different types of resumes, but focus on the use of combination resumes (functional and chronological) using the employability skills 2000+ to begin identifying skills they have already acquired.

Students are taught how to slant their resume to the job they are applying for, networking skills, informational interview skills, using a portfolio in an interview and how to use the collected information to make job search plans and decisions.

Students interested in practicing mock interviews should make an appointment with Career Development.
