After you have accessed the CareerNetwork, explore areas where you can further develop your portfolio (e.g., cover letters, resumes, career assessments, websites, video resumes, and the brand new Strategic Career Planning section of the CareerNetwork). These are the areas that you will be working on, in conjunction with your resume in Unit 8.

Your objective this week in the discussion is to answer the following questions and reply to at least two of your classmates. Content from this discussion will aid the development of your resume (Unit 8).

Look up some job descriptions that you find interesting.

What are employers looking for (i.e., education, experience, and skills)? What have you learned from your classes to prepare you to work for these employers? How can you communicate your mastery of these skills in your resume and on your professional social media profile (ex. LinkedIn)? How can you increase your professional presence (e.g., LinkedIn, Facebook, publications, cover letters, etc.)?
