BUSM 2300 is a three-credit lecture/seminar course that will provide students with knowledge of what it takes to get a job in today’s constantly changing workplace. This course will give students a chance to learn, as well as practice, each of the steps towards attaining a job, including: self-assessment, resume and cover letter writing, networking and interviewing skills as well as job search tactics. Students will develop and produce a professional career portfolio which can be used throughout their career.
