2. Prepare a cover letter.
3. Register in Handshake and submit a resume.
4. Participate in a Mock Interview.

   • Students may choose from: Career Fair, employer information session, employer socials, job shadow, or informational interview.

Students will self-monitor their progress utilizing a CSC checklist and then submit a form to Career Services upon completion. Those completing the program will be recognized at a year-end ceremony. In addition, graduates of the CSC program will receive a certificate and a small gift and be recognized on the Career Services website and social media.
