The job search can be stressful and daunting. Especially when you’re wondering: Aside from my degree, what else should I do to land my dream job? What will set me apart, and how can I find that out? If I need additional skills, where can I build them? How do I highlight my accomplishments and skills in a way that will put my resume at the top of the stack?Ìý
MySkills helps you navigate all of those questions and more. From helping you understand the top skills that all industries and all roles are hiring for to the exact skills you’ll need for specific roles and industries, we’ve got you. We’ll also help you determine your unique skill set, and showcase exactly why you’re a top candidate through every stage of the hiring process. The best part? It only takes a few hours, and Career Services will support you the whole way.

- Build skills through small group projects, job simulations, freelance gigs and more. Our professional experiences team can help.
- Connect with alumni and set up an informational interview about jobs or industries you’re interested in. They love to share their wisdom about their field, common mistakes to avoid and advice on just starting out.
- Wanting to introduce career strategies into your classroom? Request a MySkills presentation. A staff member from Career Services will lead your students through in-class activities, and help them figure out their next steps.
- You can also introduce your students to career strategies through Career Services Canvas modules that you can import directly into your course.
