More about this course

In this course, job hunters across the board will learn how to convert their vocational goals into career realities, one step at a time. The job hunting process itself is discussed in detail, broken into two distinct parts: the search and the follow-through. Since job hunting deals with a vast arena, the course offers techniques for focus and effectivity and discusses novel approaches for unique populations. Applying for jobs can be equally daunting, which is eased with step-by-step instruction and interactive tools to help create resumes and cover letters. The final and potentially most nerve-wracking stage of job-hunting?—the interview?—is presented with canon principles, as well as a few tips and tricks for broaching compensation and other touchy topics with a future employer. Lastly, a look at future career goals and development rounds out the course experience with positive momentum.
