To get a referral, simply follow these three steps:
1. Complete a personality/career assessment.
- Career Services will help you create a strategy designed to attract employers or graduate schools.
2. Schedule a resume-building appointment.
- Scheduling a 60- to 90-minute appointment with Career Services will ensure your resume stands out from the crowd.
3. Complete interview preparation.
- In two, 30-minute appointments, Career Services will provide you with interview preparation and counseling, to make sure you have the tools needed to nail your next big interview.
