Here are our priorities:

 

  • Produce an industry-oriented portfolio
  • Revise and/or create an industry-oriented resume
  • Revise and/or create effectively written cover letters
  • Create a reserve of online job-related resources
  • Learn to network with local industry professionals
  • Refine and practice interviewing strategies
  • Develop on online profile that supports continuous career growth

  • The objectives,
  • Tips and tricks
  • How the assignment fits in the real world, and
  • How to approach it
