Introducing:
The Foundations for Career Success:
DECIDE. DEVELOP. DELIVER. ®
You may not be actively applying to a competitive program or job at the moment. In fact, you may not have an imminent opportunity on the horizon. Or perhaps you are actively working on applications with upcoming deadlines.
Regardless of whether there is something specific that you are currently preparing to apply to or not, it is essential to actively pursue readiness. Opportunities may arise at any time. You may find out next week about an interesting job or internship and need to submit a resume right away, or you may decide to apply for a scholarship with a tight deadline.
Let’s help you get READY EARLY so you can reduce stress and increase your competitive advantage. Grow personally and professionally toward your goals, and get ready to compete for upcoming applications to college/university programs, jobs, scholarships, and other opportunities.
