Course Description:

Students will have the opportunity to analyze what goes into obtaining a job as well as what stands out to an employer. Skills such as how to build a resume, how to fill out a job application, and qualities of a potential job candidate will be explicitly taught. In addition to these skills, we will review what to and what not to wear to a job interview.
