Please watch the following two videos prior to attending the workshop on Wed, August 5th.
Why I Matter
In the U.S., individualism and independence are valued characteristics and can be seen in various aspects of American society: social, academics, and the job search.
Marketing Yourself in the US
As the American job search is self directed, students are expected to market themselves. Emphasis is placed on the importance of a personal story as well as an explanation of how the cover letter and resume and how the story comes through in these documents.
Especially useful for an international student who comes from a different culture.
