Finding a Job

Before beginning a job search, it is important to assess yourself (Where Do I Begin?), research careers (CWS Library and Internet Resources), and explore options through internships (Finding an Internship) 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.
