    In today's economy, the average HR representative or hiring manager may only spend about 8-15 seconds initially scanning your resume.

Learn how to develop an eye catching resume that makes it to the "Interview" pile. We'll focus on formatting tips to writing a winning resume, how to package and present yourself, write the right resume for the right position and designing a compelling cover letter.

  • Mock Interviewing

    Click Here to Sign Up for a Mock Interview

    Interviewing is never easy. We know our careers. We know what we do, but we do not always know the best way to articulate what we do, or what our value proposition is. Interviewing is like anything else, it takes practice. Don’t use your real interviews as practice. Put into practice what you have learned in the Career Coaching courses to perform your best in interviews. Don’t shoot an airball when the game is on the line.

    Once you have completed the prerequisite courses below, register for the mock interview.

    1. Personal Branding
    2. Resume Writing
    3. Interviewing
    4. Strategic LinkedIn

    Salary negotiation is an important process during any stage of employment and can be intimidating for many.
