Did you know the IDEA Center offers assistance to students with their resumes, LinkedIn profiles and cover letters? These three items are extremely important in preparation for successfully applying to jobs and internships.
If you know any students who would benefit from these services, please direct them to Handshake, where they can make an appointment with Wade Witherspoon, the employee relations manager, or Karis Lee, the career coach intern.
Witherspoon is available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. He can also meet at other times based on a student’s request. Lee is available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., as well as Fridays from 10 to 11 a.m.
Students can also take advantage of another beneficial resource the IDEA Center provides called Quinccia. This is an AI resume scanner that can test a student’s resume and see if it would pass ATS software many companies use today. After the resume is scanned, the platform provides students with improvement tips to be more successful in the future. Students can sign in to Quinccia with their George Fox login.
If you have any questions, contact the IDEA Center at idea@georgefox.edu.
