Resume Workshop
Where: Perlstein Hall, Room 108
Description: Career Services staff members have looked at hundreds upon hundreds of student resumes and cover letters. They know which ones will lead to successful opportunities within your particular industry, and which ones will go directly into the “circular file” (trash). If you know your resume or cover letter needs help or haven’t had it reviewed by a professional before, this is a very good opportunity to get specific pointers on creating strong resumes and cover letters from professionals in Career Services. If this is you, or if you are having a hard time getting your resume or cover letter accepted in Jobs4Hawks, we will see you at the Resume and Cover Letter workshop.

Got the Job Offer? Now What? Workshop
Where: Perlstein Hall, Room 109
Description: If you have a job offer: congratulations. In your excitement, you may be tempted to accept the job on the spot. The way you accept a job will set the tone for your career, so it is important to take the time to go over all of the details first. There are many components to compensation packages beyond the salary, like hours, healthcare plans, retirement packages, vacation time, and more. It can be overwhelming, especially if it is your first job. This workshop will present information on accepting a job and understanding the different kinds of benefits, including perks and red flags.
