I'm Graduating, now what?

Cover Letter Writing

1-hour | Self-directed

Writing professional, customized cover letters (that don鈥檛 read like ChatGPT) is an art! Learn to describe your experiences with evidence, be concise, and compel the reader to know more. Practice editing skills with our checklists and connect for further feedback.

Networking

20 minutes to 1-hour | Self-directed

Connecting with others is essential in a work search - but not how you might think! Networking isn鈥檛 about using people - this is about authentic relationships and community. Work towards a polished introduction, listening and research skills, and a curiosity mindset to support your networking efforts.
