This online workshop will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the job hunting process from preparation to goal setting through job search strategies and interviewing. The target audience is undergradate students who are looking for full-time opportunities, but students pursuing internships and summer jobs as well as alumni in the middle of career change or job search challenges may also find it useful.
