Have you been looking for ways to better your career game while working from home? Engineering Career Services has 4 tools that can help you enhance your résumé, impress at your next interview, standout at your internship, and master the entire job search process!
1. VMock
If you are looking to improve your résumé, VMock is the tool for you! VMock is a SMART Career Platform that provides feedback on your résumé based off criteria ECS has inputted. All you have to do is upload your résumé and VMock will provide suggestions for improvement. VMock also has the option of providing Network Feedback. This means that one of ECS’ Career Peers can take a look at your résumé and give you personalized feedback.
2. Big Interview
If you have an interview coming up or want to improve your interviewing skills, you should check out Big Interview! Big Interview is an interview training system with video lessons that provide information on interview topics and a space to practice interview techniques. This tool has a “Learn” section with several different curriculums and tracks that students can choose based off what they are looking for. There is also a “Practice” section where students can apply what they have learned from the curriculums and practice their interview skills.
