PRE CAREER
The Pre-Career process is generally perceived as a long, taxing, and seemingly hopeless venture in this competitive job market. The job search and resume revisions seem pointless if there is not immediate employment. However, we like to view this transition period as a time to polish you and your job portfolio into the most professional and prepared version it can be! In this Pre-Career stage we aim to be your resource to realize your full potential through our job search database, document checklists, and resume guidelines.
