Employment Letters
Examples of job-related correspondence that you may need to write at some point during your career include cover, offer acceptance/decline and thank-you letters. Creating the initial letter can be difficult, but once it is completed, that template can be used in the development of letters for other opportunities. Below is a resource to help you in the process, and remember that your Career Consultant can assist you with any job-related document.

Interviewing
The Career Center provides many resources to help you prepare for interviews. Mock interviews are available with company representatives in both September and January. You can complete a mock interview with your Career Consultant at any point. Also, once you complete three on-campus interviews with companies, interview feedback is available.
