In this, your final year, you are learning to synthesize your experiences over the past four years in academics, service, leadership, internship and experiential learning, and to articulate plans for post-GW success and lifelong career development.
The Career Center can help you develop a self-marketing campaign and transition into your new life with resources such as on-campus recruiting, resume-writing and interviewing workshops, career fairs, specialized programs and events, and online assessment and networking resources. Career exploration involves self assessment of your values, interests and skills, and research of occupations, industries and professions to determine the best career match for you to meet your career goals.
