Job Search
Before beginning a job search, it is important to assess yourself (Self-Assessment), research careers (CWS Career Library and CWS Recommended Resources), and explore options through internships (Internships) and community service (Community Service). With these steps completed, you are ready to plan a strategy for obtaining the position, which meets your career goals.
