Build Experience

November 2023

Throughout third year, students are encouraged to continue to build on their job search strategy. Key elements to focus on this year are refining a targeted resume, becoming comfortable articulating their personal brand, participating in mock interviews with their Career Coach, and continuing to network.

In support of these activities, the Career Advancement Centre (CAC) has created eight online Career Management Foundation modules. These modules include videos, exercises, and resources to enable the education of industry best practices in career development. In the personal brand module, students explore and define their key values, skills, experiences, strengths, and value proposition.

Building on the personal brand module, the recruiting module will help students create a resume that reflects the best of their skills, experiences and strengths, and is aligned with their targeted career goals. In the networking module, students learn how to locate, reach out to and follow up with contacts. In addition, they also learn how to conduct an effective networking conversation.

Students can access these modules through their CAC Portal at any time.
