Please join the Higher Education Program for a series of workshops led by the UVA Career Center! Come out, connect with others, and learn how to nail it at your next job interview. We will cover a variety of topics such as creating professional documents, how to effectively network with people, and tips for what should happen AFTER you leave the interview. Each workshop will take place in Ridley Hall, Room 302, unless noted otherwise. Due to the recent public health update, food will NOT be provided at the 1/28 workshop. 

 

 

Did you know that employers spend an average of 15 - 30 seconds reviewing a resume? Make yours stand out! Cover letters and references are important aspects of your job application. Learn what employers are looking for in professional documents and how you can improve yours through content and formatting to catch their interest. **Optional: Bring your resume, cover letter, and/or reference letter for review.

 

So where can you find a job? This workshop will actively show you how to use a variety of search tools, networking strategies, and tips to maximize your job search efforts. Bring your laptop to engage and explore the possibilities while learning how to make the process more focused and efficient.

 

The greatest asset for interviewing is knowing how to prepare. This workshop will help you begin thinking about common interview questions and responses, what to take with you to the interview, and who to send a Thank You note to afterward. From a firm handshake to a strong closing statement, you’ll be well on your way to interview success.
