your career
goal. Job Readiness Information top Cover letters: A cover letter allows you to tailor your application to each specific job. It also allows you to highlight your most important and relevant accomplishments, skills and experience that qualify you for the position. A cover letter should reflect your personality, your attention to detail, your communication skills, your enthusiasm, and your intellect. Resumes: A resume is your selling tool for a job. It can contain many different sections. Each resume is tailor-made for the applicant. Your education, skills and abilities, and work experience will determine in what order they appear on your resume.
Interviews: An interview is an opportunity for you to learn as much about the company as they will want to learn about you. This means you should do adequate research on the company and go into the meeting prepared to talk about how your skills and abilities can benefit the company. Preparing well lets you approach an interview feeling confident and comfortable. When you have done your homework, you will know that you have all the information you need to make the right decision about an offer when it comes. Also, remember to dress appropriately for the interview. First impressions are very important. Thank you letters: It is very appropriate
and expected to send a short thank you letter to the prospective employer
within 3 days after the interview. A service Career Services provides to students is the development and maintenance of an individual credential file. A credential file consists of a personal data sheet, letters of recommendations and academic transcripts. This file is mailed to prospective employers at the request of the graduate or the hiring officials. Credential files are very convenient and a cost-effective service that graduate students and alumni may take advantage of. The fee for mailing a credential file is $3.00 per copy. To start your file, stop in the office in May Hall, Room
