Career Services Workshops- Register for our March session! SU’s Alumni Office is partnering with Career Services to bring you a set of workshops designed to help you jump-start your career.

Designed for job-seekers and career-changers, the weekly workshops will include:
• determining what line of work is the right fit for you
• developing a personal narrative and positioning
• learning the elements of effective resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profile
• coaching on informational interviewing (how 90% of jobs are landed)
• learning job search strategies and “being where you want to work”
• coaching on interview skills
• ...and anything else related to career development in which members of the group are interested!
