Career Services Workshops

This workshop gives students a clear path to follow in their job search by walking you through the provided workbook where you can track your progress and take steps forward in your job search. The workbook gives clear instructions and explains the step-by-step actions to take to be successful in a job search – students can complete the activities in the workbook either independently, or while they are participating in the workshop.

Do you know that a Cover Letter is almost always required when applying for a new position? Cover letters are the employer's first impression of you as a potential candidate; therefore, it is quite important to spend time on this document. Please join our workshop with either a job you would like to apply to or an actual job description and we will explain how to craft a targeted letter.

We provide step-by-step instructions that will walk you through:

• Expressing skills and characteristics that you cannot express in your resume
• What must be included in your cover letter
• How to make your cover letter stand out and set you apart
• Tailoring your cover letter to a position/employer
• Providing a venue for you to discuss your technical and transferable skills

This workshop covers tips on how to prepare for and succeed in an in-person or virtual interview, and what to do after the interview. If you are preparing for a job interview for part-time or full-time employment, a co-op, or a clinical placement this is the workshop for you! You can come with questions that you have prepared or email us ahead of time and we will bring questions related to your industry.

We will introduce you to:

• Questions you may be asked in the interview
• Researching how much others are making in similar positions
• Interviewing - a powerful software to record your mock interview
• Questions you should consider asking the interviewer
