The idea of 299 as a class that will prepare all students for great careers ahead by coaching public speaking, and going through the process of seeking employment, is great! First year students, many straight out of high school and with limited work experience, must get so much out of this class and appreciate all the information and tips.

Having been a university student now for 3 years and having had work experience after high school, I have already had experience in interview situations, going through informational interviews and networking, and so I probably didn’t get as much out of the class as was intended. That being said, I really did learn a lot about CAR statements and how to effectively phrase my CV and cover letter. So, hopefully those tips will prove effective now that I am waiting to hear back from many summer positions:)
