Figuring out what to wear on a daily basis can be challenging. It gets even more difficult when you are dressing for an interview, career fair, internship, first day of work…the list goes on! We hear a lot of you ask about what you should wear (which is great- it shows you’re conscious of having to look professional) but unfortunately there is no single answer to this question. A lot of what to wear is industry based or depends on the situation. For instance for an interview with GE I would wear a suit, no question. But if I were […]

OK so let’s say just got an email about our “Are You LinkedIn?” workshop on October 18th…here’s how you sign up: Sign into the BRIDGE Mouse […]

Even though most applications require a cover letter and resume there are a few industries and areas that will also ask that you submit a writing sample. During the interview your spoken communication skills are assessed, but since some positions require various forms of written communication, the company may also want evidence of how well you express yourself in written form – in comes the writing sample. While any employer whose position requires writing skills may want samples, writing samples are more common in publishing, public relations, advertising, media, research, and law. If you are a typical college student, your […]

Let’s all take a moment to pat ourselves on the back for making it through September – it’s amazing what can happen in a month: the Open House, countless workshops, Employer Expo, and now Employer Sessions are in full swing, and we keep going.
