Prepare for the Job Application Process

The hiring process can be scary, but we're here to help. No matter what your experience level is with interviews and application materials, our Career Services team is ready to help you prepare.

Résumé Writing

A résumé cannot get you a job, but it can get you an interview. An effective résumé describes your education and experience in relation to the job you are applying for.

Mock Interviews

Our mock interview sessions allow you to practice your interviewing skills with a staff member prior to going out and interviewing with employers in your career field.

Career Closet

The Career Closet provides all Blackhawk students access to new and gently used professional attire for interviews, career fairs, networking events, and the workplace. The goal of the Career Closet is to remove financial barriers that may prevent students with the highest need from looking and feeling their best during the internship and job search process. The Career Closet is located in the CARE Center (Room 2220).
