Student Feedback on the Strategies for Today’s Jobs Course

“The course has been truly eye-opening, and I now feel much more confident and strategic about how I approach my own job search … I’m excited to fully put what I’ve learned into action to move closer to my dream role. Thank you again for such a thoughtful, empowering experience!” - Karin, ACC Student 

“It has been an odd job search, and I think going through the course let me have a lot of my responses and interview setup completed beforehand. It felt that having my camera lighting, START stories and 'about yourself"'spiel ready to go took a lot of weight and anxiety off me. (During the interview) I was able to run through mostly without thinking too much about coming up with answers on the fly. I thank you for that.” 

- Sherwin, Software Engineer

"This course helped me stay consistent in applying to roles that aligned with my values and what I wanted next in my career. I learned how to tailor my resume to each opportunity, make a stronger impression in interviews, and most of all, I found a community that supported and motivated me through the ups and downs of the job search." -  Michelle, Marketing Professional

“The aptitude and career assessment was the most comprehensive I’ve ever taken. When I mentioned one of its insights in a cover letter, it caught an employer’s eye and even sparked a great conversation [during the] interview.” - Anais, ACC Student 

“What I've changed in my approach as a result of this course: leading with reflection and focus. My changes are thinking more about my North Star and personal branding, and being intentional.” - Anonymous, ACC Student 

“Tuesday, I received another phone screen invitation and just finished the video phone screening with another company this morning. I prepared 3 pages of company information such as JD, company culture, etc. [I] also prepared another 3 pages of my personal branding, top strength, accomplishments with PAR (WHO) structure, TMAY story and START stories as well, which are all practiced in class. And, those practices are REAL USEFUL!”  - Tiffany, Software QA Engineer
