I worked with the Office of Career Development to create a résumé and cover letter, and to prepare for an interview. They gave prompts for job descriptions, cover letters, and questions to ask my interviewer, allowing me to think critically and equipping me with the tools needed to succeed after graduation. The resources he provided me with boosted my confidence going into the interview and helped me land a career opportunity!
