The average graduate spends at least six months<\/a> as a job seeker \u2014 researching, applying to, and interviewing for a fulfilling professional role in their chosen field. In the grand scheme of things, this may not seem like a long wait. But for recent grads, that six-month search can start to feel like an endless, anxiety-inducing hustle. As for those who finish the half-year stretch without finding employment, frustration and discouragement can begin to give way \u2014 making the hunt for the right job all the more nerve-racking.<\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s good news. When it comes to the job hunt, Goodwin students and graduates have a unique foot up on other applicants \u2014 they have access to our Career Services department. At Career Services, senior career specialist Marty Levine and career coordinator Nicole Quigley provide comprehensive, individualized support to job-seeking students and graduates.<\/p>\n

Read on to learn how Goodwin\u2019s Career Services team goes above and beyond \u2014 supporting students and graduates on their journey to professional success.<\/p>\n

Professional guidance at Goodwin<\/h2>\n

During his eight and a half years with Goodwin\u2019s Career Services department, Marty Levine has maintained a strong sense of mission. “We’re committed to assisting students of all ages,” Levine shares. \u201cI\u2019ve helped students from ages 17 to 70. We have a diverse population of students from different backgrounds, so it’s important that we personalize our support to meet their needs and goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given Goodwin\u2019s breadth of career-ready certificate and degree programs, our students and graduates possess eclectic qualifications and educational experiences. \u201cCareer Services is used by students without degrees, as well as those with various educational backgrounds,\u201d Levine describes. \u201cWe see students and alumni looking for a first or second career and, occasionally, a third. They\u2019re often anxious about finding a job and need extra support throughout that process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building your brand<\/h3>\n

In today\u2019s competitive market, having the right skills on your resum\u00e9 isn\u2019t always enough to land the job. According to career specialists,<\/a> selling yourself to a future employer is all about defining your professional brand. Nicole Quigley emphasizes this, noting the importance of self-presentation. \u201cA lot of our support is focused on helping students and alumni market themselves,\u201d Quigley offers.<\/p>\n

Although she joined the department only six months ago, Quigley brings experience, expertise, and empathy to her role as Goodwin\u2019s career coordinator. Having worked for eight years in talent acquisition, she knows the ropes of recruitment and recognizes the importance of establishing a strong professional identity. \u201cBy working with students or alumni on their resum\u00e9s, developing their networking techniques, and performing mock interviews, we help them identify their unique brand,\u201d she elaborates. \u201cThis will help them stand out to employers and increase their chances of getting hired.\u201d<\/p>\n

It starts with outreach<\/h2>\n

The Career Services team is based out of the Student Affairs Department on the second floor of One Riverside Drive. But whether you\u2019re on campus or learning remotely, Levine and Quigley assure that accessible support is available. \u201cWhen we work with students one-on-one, they can choose to meet with us in-person, on Zoom, or over the phone,\u201d Quigley details.<\/p>\n

Part of accessibility is visibility \u2014 that’s why Levine emphasizes the importance of proactively connecting with students. \u201cPeople seek us out through word of mouth, but we focus on doing as much outreach as we can,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

By visiting classes and presenting the scope of services available through their department, Levine and Quigley encourage students to pursue individualized support. \u201cWhen program directors and professors reach out to us, we visit their classes and provide students with a workshop presentation,\u201d Levine explains. \u201cWe also try to include a relevant activity or exercise,\u201d Quigley adds. \u201cMany students seek us out afterward to learn more and receive support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Individualized, self-adjusting support<\/h3>\n

When you visit Goodwin\u2019s Career Services department, you\u2019ll receive personalized support that exceeds expectations. Whether you\u2019re building a new resum\u00e9 or revising an old draft, Levine and Quigley will take whatever time necessary to help you craft, polish, and perfect your resum\u00e9. \u201cWhen we review students\u2019 or alumni\u2019s resum\u00e9s, we often see what they don\u2019t,\u201d Quigley outlines. \u201cWe work with them to modify their language and determine which of their skills are most worth highlighting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Levine notes that when it comes to providing individualized support, equity is always a priority. \u201cWhen we work on resum\u00e9s, we help students across all age groups and populations, including many first-generation students,\u201d Levine describes. \u201cWe strongly believe in adjusting our services to meet the individual wants, needs, worries, and values of Goodwin\u2019s students and alumni.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overcoming your resum\u00e9 woes<\/h2>\n

For some students and alumni, the stress of writing the perfect resum\u00e9 can easily give way to woeful anxiety. But before pushing the panic button, press pause \u2014 with the helping hand of Goodwin’s Career Services, resum\u00e9-writing can become a confidence-boosting opportunity for self-exploration.<\/p>\n

Rethinking what you know about resum\u00e9s<\/h3>\n

Quigley observes that applicants\u2019 anxieties often stem from common misconceptions. \u201cA lot of people who come and see us aren\u2019t aware that their resum\u00e9s can be longer than a single page. It\u2019s important to highlight your relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities \u2014 even if it takes more than one page.\u201d Still, Quigley recommends keeping your resum\u00e9 concise. \u201cIt should never be longer than two pages,\u201d she adds. \u201cThe resum\u00e9 itself should be simple, but the content should be high-quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quigley notes another common misconception \u2014 that a gap in employment will derail your chance at the job. From Levine and Quigley\u2019s experience, however, this isn\u2019t the case. \u201cYou can note the gap on your resum\u00e9,\u201d Levine adds. \u201cBy working with us and discussing how to address the gap, we can strategically think about how to present it when you\u2019re talking to prospective employers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emphasizing your essential skills<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re transitioning to a new career, deciding what to put on your resum\u00e9 can be especially daunting. Levine and Quigley suggest that job-seekers with less professional experience call attention to their essential skills.<\/a> Often referred to as soft or transferable skills, essential skills are a broad category of abilities and qualities that lend well to many fields of work. For example, critical thinking and problem-solving are both essential skills in fields ranging from healthcare to Manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Levine and Quigley observe that jobseekers often overlook the importance of including volunteerism, awards, and association memberships on their resum\u00e9s. \u201cEmp loyers care about these experiences because they demonstrate that you\u2019re a serious, well-rounded candidate,\u201d Levine offers.<\/p>\n

Considering your cover letter<\/h3>\n

Regardless of whether an employer needs a cover letter or not, Quigley encourages applicants to include one anyway. Aside from setting yourself apart as a stronger candidate, a cover letter can serve to address any concerns about your resum\u00e9. \u201cIf you\u2019re transitioning to a new career or have a gap in previous employment, including a cover letter creates an opportunity for you to discuss that,\u201d Quigley explains.<\/p>\n

Conquering interview anxiety<\/h2>\n

When helping students and graduates write their resum\u00e9s, Levine and Quigley consider the questions employers will likely ask during an interview. Keeping these questions in mind, they recommend that jobseekers include relevant and specific professional and behavioral details on their resum\u00e9s. Modeling your resum\u00e9 this way helps you keep track of key talking points throughout your interview.<\/p>\n

Levine and Quigley also prepare students and graduates for success by hosting mock interviews. Aside from providing a safe space to hone your interviewing skills, practicing for the big day will help decrease your pre-interview jitters.<\/p>\n

For particularly anxious applicants, Quigley offers words of wisdom. \u201cAttitude and confidence are key,\u201d she continues, \u201cand you\u2019re interviewing your employer just as much as they\u2019re interviewing you. You\u2019re also deciding if the employer is a good fit for you and your professional goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opportunities for job discovery<\/h2>\n

The support offered by Levine and Quigley is not limited to resum\u00e9-writing or mock interviews. Thanks to connections with community-wide employers (some of whom are Goodwin graduates,) students and alumni can take advantage of various networking opportunities. Aside from hosting career fairs twice a year, Career Services hosts Lunch & Learns and other workshops that support and help students during their search for employment.<\/p>\n

Career Services is also home to countless digital resources to aid and inform job-seeking students and graduates. This past year, Levine and Quigley introduced a new resource, Handshake, to the Goodwin community. \u201cIt\u2019s a platform like LinkedIn or Indeed,\u201d Quigley describes, “and it\u2019s tailored to the needs of college students and recent graduates.\u201d<\/p>\n

By adding Handshake to the Career Services toolbelt, Levine and Quigley help provide students with today\u2019s most relevant instruments for finding post-graduate employment.<\/a><\/p>\n

Waiting for the \u201cyes\u201d<\/h2>\n

Sometimes, what\u2019s most challenging about looking for work is waiting to hear “yes”. Levine and Quigley encourage students not to let rejection prevent future success. \u201cSome of the best advice we offer students is to not get discouraged if you don\u2019t land the job,\u201d Levine explains.<\/p>\n

Quigley emphasizes that whether you get hired or not, every interview is a valuable experience. \u201cEven if students are offered an interview for a position that they\u2019re still exploring, we encourage them to take the opportunity,\u201d Quigley offers. \u201cIt\u2019s good practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Advice for alumni success<\/h3>\n

When you land the job, Levine recommends staying with the same employer for at least three years. \u201cIt takes that much time to really learn the ropes and begin building professional relationships in your position. When employees stay for at least three years, it\u2019s likely they\u2019ll end up staying for five.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quigley also emphasizes the importance of leaving a positive impression on current, past, and prospective employers. \u201cWe tell students and alumni to be careful not to burn bridges,\u201d she shares. \u201cWhen you decide to leave an employer, it’s a good idea to leave on positive terms.\u201d<\/p>\n
