ASSESS YOURSELF!
This assessment is known for helping students identify their skills, interests, and values.
FOCUS Assessment
Studies show that 80% of jobs are found in the “hidden job market.” This is why we STRONGLY suggest doing this. (It can be done any time, any where!)

Be careful! We know potential Employers often look at this before they interview a candidate.
Social Media
This person is your go-to resource for all career-related questions.
Your Career and Internship Advisor
Take these into consideration when choosing a job – especially since they portray what is most important to you.
Values!
Want a one-stop shop for finding out more about jobs by talking to multiple employers at once? We say go to all of these!
Career Fairs
Commonly included with a resume, this document helps you stand out: it introduces you, explains your purpose, and highlights your experience and skills.
