Securing an internship, another temporary role, or a permanent position calls for using certain skills that students and alumni alike may have never developed, or may have used at such an elementary level as to be no longer enough for a competitive marketplace. Assisting students and alumni to develop appropriate search skills is one of the objectives of the Career Services Network. Skills to master may include:
  • Resume and curriculum vitae writing
  • Cover letter writing
  • Researching careers, industries, and employers
  • Employment and informational interviewing
  • Salary research and negotiating

For further assistance

Students and alumni should start with their home college career offices to learn what individual or group assistance with search skills may be available. They should also connect with all-campus offices such as the Center for Career Services for additional information and coaching on search skills. Returning to the Students menu above and following the sub-menu of links on Job Search Skills will illustrate where more specific assistance may be found. Since search skills must be seen in the broader context of a total search process,a fuller treatment of the process of finding a job is offered on the site for the Center for Career Services.
