In today’s competitive job market, it is important for students to take advantage of the resources offered by Career Services. Students need to focus on selling their strengths. So much of the application and interview process is new to them, however. It can be a major distraction. Career Services helps students get the technical details right, and provides support that gives students the confidence to focus on demonstrating the skills and personal characteristics that employers are looking for. This can be a big advantage for the student in both the application phase and the interview phase of finding the right job to launch their new career.
