  • Require students to get their resume and cover letter reviewed by the Career Development Center.
  • Have students conduct a mock interview with a staff member from Career Development.
  • Encourage students to complete a LinkedIn profile and/or online portfolio and have it reviewed by Career Development.Have students create an academic major and/or career path profile to better understand the details of their preferred career interest.
