Thank you for making Career Expo 2020 a great success!
If you missed the pre-Expo workshops or if you are looking to sharpen your job search and networking skills Career Services has prepared a set of post-event workshops to help you.
Attend these workshops to polish up your resume, be efficient in your job search and present the best LinkedIn profile.
Post-Expo workshops are running from March 17 to 20. If you were unable to attend the Resume, Job Search or LinkedIn February workshops, this is your chance to learn the skills you'll need to impress employers and land the perfect job.
Register today to save your spot.
Did you know 75% of resumes don’t make it past the screening process? Join our resumes and cover letters workshop and learn how to prevent some of the most common mistakes that result in your application being overlooked.
This one-hour workshop will help you:
- Showcase your qualifications in language that employers understand
- Demonstrate your unique value on paper and online
- Beat online software filters and get your resume noticed
Your resume and cover letter may be the first impression you make on an employer. This workshop will help you ensure that it’s an outstanding one.
Did you know that 80% of jobs are not advertised and that applying on large public job boards leads to a less than 1% chance of getting the job? Join our job search workshop and learn the skills necessary to land your next summer job or dream career.
This one-hour workshop will help you:
- Learn how to research for potential employers in your field
- Provide pro-tips for finding positions in the hidden job market related to your degree
- Maximize your impact when meeting employers face to face
You’ll walk away at the end of the hour confident in your ability to strategically navigate the Career Expo and make an impact on the potential employers you will meet.
Did you know a fully optimized LinkedIn profile is 27 times more likely to be found by recruiters?
Employers rank LinkedIn as the number one social media platform to find or vet job candidates, but simply having a profile isn’t enough to stand out among more than half a billion professionals. Join our LinkedIn workshop and learn how to take your career to the next level.
This one-hour workshop will help you:
- Improve your personal brand online
- Learn how to use LinkedIn as a job search and networking tool
- Understand how recruiters find you
To get the most out of this workshop, you’re encouraged to be a member of LinkedIn and upload some version of a resume. As the workshop will be held in a computer lab, you can make changes in real time. You also have the option to work with a photographer to create a professional LinkedIn profile picture (valued over $50). If you’re interested in making the most of this opportunity, we encourage you to dress up for the occasion.
