We partner with you to determine your career goals and design an action plan to meet those goals. We’ve developed Career Road Maps as guides to help you navagate the process from self-assessment to career assessment, search strategies (i.e. networking), creation of self-marketing tools (i.e. resume/CV, cover letters), and interview preparation. We provide an online interview preparation platform Big Interview (cgu.biginterview.com) you can use to develop and practice your interviewing skills before you meet with a career consultant for a mock interview (available online and inperson)
You may be provided with alumni contacts if we have an ongoing relationship with an alumnus who works in your field of interest. However, before referring you to a direct contact, we will often work with you on your networking skills.
