Description
Whether you're already in the workforce, or you're still in school and haven't yet applied for your first position -- the job application process can be both exciting and demoralizing. Sometimes, finding a new job feels like a full-time job itself -- especially when the competition is steep and the field of candidates is crowded.
How can you help yourself stand out from other applicants and land the job of your dreams? In this course, you'll work through each step of the application process, as well as consider graduate school as an alternative or additional choice. First, you'll explore tips to find opportunities that align with your skills and passions. Next, you'll learn how to write a compelling resume or curriculum vitae and cover letter. Finally, you'll perfect the art of interviewing to seal the deal and land a competitive job offer. And we'll discuss graduate school options for those who plan to stay in school or even work and go to school part-time after graduation.
