Tips:
1. Spend Time on Your Resume
Your resume serves as the first impression to recruiters. Make a strong impression by showcasing relevant experiences, whether paid or not. Resumes not only get you considered for a job, they are meant to help you get an interview. Need help? We can help you polish your resume.
2. Highlight Your Accomplishments
Interviewing can be intimidating if you are not comfortable or used to talking about all of your accomplishments in a professional setting. In an interview, employers want to learn more about you and see how you might fit in with their organization. Meet with us to practice and feel free to use the resources below to get started as well.
3. Start a Job or Internship Search
Spend some time exploring careers in something that you are most passionate and excited about.

Your online presence matters, whether there is something there or not. Make sure you know your privacy settings. You can also leverage social media to make connections. Several organizations are also including social media in their recruitment plans. Don't get left out.
