Finding a Job/Gaining Experience

A job search should begin with: a self-assessment of your interests and skills; research into a variety of careers, industries, and functional areas; and networking with business professionals. The next step is to put together your job-hunting 'tool kit' consisting of a professional-looking, targeted resume, a well-written cover letter and strong interviewing skills. You'll find a lot of helpful tips throughout this site to help you build your tool kit. In addition, you can schedule an appointment with a career counselor to help with any part of your job search by contacting Chaminade Career Services at www.chaminade.edu/careers
