C - Career Readiness

Is this course right for me?

In this module you will review the four most common interview questions and prepare your responses. Then you will have the opportunity to put your responses into action when you complete an online virtual orientation (and self assess your performance).

You will complete a Resume Writing module and choose a template to write your resume rough draft. Then your facilitator will work with you to finalize your resume and establish long term career goals.

After completing Cover Letter mods, you will create a generic cover letter. Your facilitator will work with you to finalize your cover letters in preparation for the upcoming application process.

You will wrap up Phase Two by learning the importance of networking, creating your own LinkedIn account, and completing mods that will prepare you for online application.
