• One-on-one graduate student career advising
• Help with exploring career options and fit
• Effective job search strategies
• LinkedIn profile creation and enhancement
• Resume, curriculum vitae, teaching statement, diversity statement, and cover letter development
• Interview techniques and mock-interviews
