Job Search Strategy

Research & Self-Reflection


Before you start the job search process, we recommend you take time to reflect on your career goals and take an inventory of your skills- those you already have along with skills you could improve upon.

  • Refine your resume and keep it up to date. You will most likely need different versions depending on the industries and/or roles you are interested in

  • Schedule an appointment in Career Connect to meet with a Grad CCD Advisor and discuss your career goals, explore career assessment tools, and more!

  • Research companies and industries to narrow down your preferred positions (Vault & VMock Career Fit are great places to start!)

Leadership Development & Rotational Programs

Leadership Development & Rotational Programs can be a great way to gain industry experience. While both programs aim to develop skills and provide career growth, leadership development programs are more focused on preparing individuals for leadership positions, whereas rotational programs offer a broader range of experiences across different areas of a company.

You can view a list of leadership and rotational curated by our team here. It’s important to keep in mind that each company may have different hiring timelines and position requirements. We encourage you to do you own research and check Career Connect for additional opportunities.
