Description

To support all the students (ages 18-25) requesting help, we are seeking volunteers who could commit to 2-3 hours per week for a commitment of 3 months helping students in their efforts to obtain an internship or job.

Work with students on career/internship activities including:

  • Developing and practicing their professional “story” (how to answer the question: tell me about yourself)
  • Re-tooling their resume(s) and LinkedIn profile
  • Developing a professional networking strategy, including using LinkedIn
  • Practicing/preparing for informational/networking interviews and job interviews
  • Teaching best practices for creating cover letters
  • Searching for relevant jobs or internships or employers to target

Training (two 1.5 hour sessions) and support will be provided to explain the successful process we use to support our students in these efforts.
