I helped students write resumes and cover letters, conducted practice interviews and workshops, and assisted with career research. This experience has allowed me to work with a diverse clientele, sometimes under difficult circumstances. Thus, in addition to providing competent research assistance, I am confident I would work well with your clients and staff.
