Career Development Skills Training Part 1

Activity report

edanz0727_2.JPGOn July 27, 2016, we held the first of a series of seminars entitled "Career Development Skills Training." Building on a recent seminar we invited an instructor from English proofreading company Edanz to hold a session for Leading Program students in their second or later year of study.
The seminar addressed the following topics:
1. Marketing yourself
2. Applying for internships and jobs
3. Writing a clear CV and compelling cover letter
4. Preparing for interviews
After learning the specifics of how to write a CV and cover letter in English by participating in various group activities, students were given an assignment to write their own CV in English, along with a cover letter. Plans for the second seminar in the series, which is scheduled for October, include conducting mock interviews using the results of that assignment.
