Are our students ready to beat the odds in their professional job searches? We have a way to spruce up those job-search skills through Optimal Resume on MyGFU/Career Services.
Students can build a resume, cover letter, interviewing, eportfolio, website, and articulate skills one competency at a time, or they can join us in the 10-Step program to become an Optimal Job candidate. The program is set up in BruinCareers/MyGFU; don’t hesitate to ask us about it.
Here’s a quote worth thinking about: “Your job skills will not get you a job … but your job-search skills will.”
