Career Advice

Practical guidance to help you search smarter, apply stronger, and interview with confidence.

Build Your Job Search Toolkit

Straightforward advice for every stage of the job search, from your first application to your next offer

Resume Writing

  • Lead with achievements and measurable results, not just a list of duties
  • Tailor your resume to each role by matching keywords from the job description
  • Keep formatting clean and consistent so it reads well on any device
  • Keep it to one or two pages unless your experience genuinely needs more
  • Proofread carefully — small typos can cost you a first impression

Interview Preparation

  • Research the company's products, recent news, and mission before you go in
  • Prepare specific examples using a structure like Situation-Task-Action-Result
  • Practice answers out loud, not just in your head
  • Prepare thoughtful questions to ask the interviewer about the role and team
  • Follow up with a short thank-you note within a day of the interview

Job Search Strategy

  • Set up job alerts so you hear about new, relevant postings quickly
  • Apply promptly — early applicants often get more attention
  • Keep a simple tracker of where you've applied and follow-up dates
  • Balance breadth and focus: apply widely, but prioritize roles that fit your goals
  • Revisit and refresh your profile regularly so it stays accurate

Networking

  • Keep your professional profiles current and consistent across platforms
  • Reach out to people in roles or companies you're interested in with a genuine, specific message
  • Stay in touch with former colleagues and classmates — referrals often start there
  • Engage authentically in your industry's online communities and discussions
  • Offer help to others in your network, not just requests
