The interview can be one of the most challenging aspects of the job search process. You have knowledge, talent and impressive SBU credentials; now you need to learn to communicate and articulate your skills and experiences in a compelling way. Prepare yourself for this conversation by reviewing the resources below.

As a Business Management major at St. Bonaventure University, the Career and Professional Readiness Center (CPRC) proved an essential resource throughout my academic journey.

Beginning with internship search guidance, the CPRC further assisted me in my junior year with resume improvement and career planning direction, clarifying suitable opportunities. This support continued through my senior year with a deep dive into potential career paths and significant help with my job search, which ultimately led to me finding a job I'm excited about.

The CPRC's excellent resources and dedicated support throughout my years at Bonaventure were useful in my professional success, making them an essential part of the university and its students.
