Introducing Career Guides

Ever thought to yourself:

-“How do I even start this resume?”
-“They’re asking for a cover letter? How do I even write one?”
-“I have an interview next week — what should I wear?”
-“How do I even translate my major into a career?”

You’re not alone — these are all questions that every young adult comes across at some point. No worries! We might have something for you.

We’ve researched and put together a series of digital resources — Career Guides — that contain information and helpful tips that are generally considered as good practice.

No, it’s not the end-all, be-all when it comes to career advice. However, if you ever need a reference or just a place to start, head on over to this page and select and save the documents you need.

Accessing the Career Guides is easy:

  1. Find and hover over the “Students and Alumni Tab”.
  2. Click on “Prepare For Your Career”.
  3. Select one of the three options that’s relevant to you.
  4. Save what you need.
