Description: This 3 part workshop is comprised of one-hour sessions held a week apart.

Session One: 'Resumes at Duke: Best Practices'
This session will answer key resume questions on length, key words, best font size, and weather to include a summary of qualifications or an objective. The session will provide tips on writing a strong resume for Duke's online applicant tracking system.

Session Two: 'Recruitment and the Transfer Process'
An active job search is much more than a resume posted online at hr.duke.edu/careers. Understanding job descriptions, networking, and how to identify the right jobs are keys to being successful in your search. Staff from HR recruitment will provide insight on finding another job or career opportunity at Duke.

Session Three: 'Interviewing 101'
You've prepared your resume, clarified your focus, and applied for jobs, and then you get the call for an interview! What now? Interviewing 101 shares tips on how to prepare for an interview, how to navigate typical interview scenarios, and how to follow-up after an interview. Learn suggestions on what TO DO and what TO AVOID.
