ENGL 457: Undergraduate Colloquium: Career Development for English Majors

Through a series of workshops and sequence of assignments, this course helps English majors explore careers in English and prepare materials for a successful job search. Two areas of career development will be emphasized; identifying vocations that capitalize on student skills and abilities; and enhancing self-presentation to prospective employers through work on cover letters, resumes, interviewing and networking skills. In addition, students refine their writing and communication skills in ways intended to benefit them after graduation.
