Building career skills starts with understanding yourself. Career assessments can help you identify your strengths, values, and interests, while tools like AppGROWS allow you to reflect on what you’re learning through classes, jobs, and internships.
As you gain experience, the Career Studio provides quick, personalized feedback on résumés, cover letters, and other materials—whether you visit in person or connect by email. When you’re ready to apply, Handshake offers access to opportunities aligned with your goals. To sharpen your interview skills, you can practice with Big Interview, schedule a mock interview, or review interview prep tips to feel confident walking into the real thing. If you’re interested in expanding your perspective, the Global Career Accelerator and other international programs offer opportunities to build skills and connections beyond campus.
All Career Development resources are free and available for both Boone and Hickory students.
