I’m Doing Everything Right So – What’s Going Wrong?!

We’re not saying we don’t believe you!  We just want to make sure you’ve covered all the basics by providing you with a checklist with some steps that should be taken before and throughout your job search.

Take a minute to review the checklist below:

I have:

____  Drafted my resume

____  Had it reviewed by the Career Center

____  Searched job advertisements on line and in print.

____  Reviewed Cover Letter format

____  Drafted and sought advice on my cover letter (s)

____  Applied for interesting jobs

____  Utilized networking tools often

 

If you checked off every box and you’re still having difficulty you may benefit from speaking with one of our Career Counselors. Call the Career Center to make an appointment at 632-6810. 

You may also find you could benefit from reading  the tips provided by the job search tool box.
