I used Career Development’s resume and cover letter services as well as alumni.
I greatly benefited from Career Development. I took full advantage of their resume & cover letter appointments. I also greatly valued the interview website that they utilized (Big Interview). My hiring skills (resume, cover letter, and interviewing) drastically improved because of Career Development.
Career coaching at UNW has equipped me with the tools needed to communicate professionally on LinkedIn and write a high quality resume. Simply put, Career Development has made a seemingly formidable process a simple one.
When I am talking with professionals, applying for internships and jobs, I know my resume and portfolio are polished. I have learned how to answer common interview questions because of past coaching appointments.
