LINKEDIN TRAINING

Your professional toolbox isn’t complete without a well-built and maintained LinkedIn account. This is a step-by-step training on how to build a LinkedIn profile. Learn why you need it, what it can do for you professionally, and how it can be your best and favorite method to search for jobs and internships.

RESUMES AND COVER LETTERS

You hear the word "resume" and you know you need it to make an immediate great first impression. Learn tips for building effective resumes that successfully market you to employers and/or further education.

DESIGNING YOUR PERSONAL BRAND

Think you don’t need a personal brand? Think again! Regardless of your professional field, you need to create a unique, professional fingerprint to stand out from the crowd. Eighty percent of jobs are not posted, and there is an average of 150-200 people applying for a single job. How will you stand out?
