Before you begin trying to secure a great externship, internship, co-op, or full-time position, there are a few skills you need to develop first: resume writing, interviewing skills, and networking.
Resumes are documents that sell your skills and experiences to a potential employer before you even speak to them. Interviews are opportunities for the employer to learn more about you, and for you to sell yourself in person. Career Services can assist you in developing these skills.
