CAR 203 You The Professional

You the Professional is a foundational career course, designed to help students position themselves for critical, career-building opportunities during college and for sustainable employment after graduation. This course helps students develop their professional network, using LinkedIn and informational interviewing to effectively identify and pursue opportunities and connections. Students will identify their next career-accelerating opportunity such as an internship, job, or specific chance to upskill. Students will then learn to deconstruct a job post, identifying how their skills align to the requirements of a given position and how to tailor key professional artifacts such as the resume and cover letter to a specific professional opportunity. Finally, they will learn and apply successful interviewing strategies to increase both skill and confidence in navigating the job application process. Pre-requisite(s): None. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 quarter hours
