Abstract: Integrating career planning into your daily to do list can be quite challenging and often leads to students feeling unprepared or overwhelmed when it's time for a job search. In this workshop, we'll discuss the essential strategies and skills for a successful job search and explore the resources available to help make your job search even easier. You'll walk away from this workshop with a better understanding of the ECS resources available to you, strategies for planning your job search, and how to adapt your application materials based on the opportunities you're interested in.
