Join Our Job Seekers Club!
The Job Seekers Club is a six-week, cohort-based program where groups of 10 to 15 students attend a 90-minute online session once per week to discuss topics and build competencies with their peers related to job search techniques in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Format:
- You check in/out each week, where you share stories of career exploration, we reinforce the importance of effort over the outcome, and help you normalize your unique process.
- These sessions reinforce self-awareness efforts and push you to increase your own career clarity and career-related skills.
- Each cohort of the program will have unique needs and experiences but generally fall into these main themes:
- Job search strategy
- Interview preparation and performance
- Understanding human resources and hiring processes
- Networking
- Resume and cover letters
- Leveraging LinkedIn
- Experience and skills (identifying, seeking, or compensating for lack thereof)
- Career exploration and planning, challenges finding employment, and other topics as applicable.
