How to Run a Career Meeting: Interview Preparation, Resume Review, and LinkedIn Help

As a school that utilizes co-ops in their curriculum, Northeastern students have to be prepared for job interviews as early as the fall semester of their sophomore year. Because of this, the NU chapter of AIChE runs a meeting every semester that includes resume review, interview preparation, LinkedIn assistance, and professional headshots. Upperclassmen give the advice, some of whom have gone on more than twenty interviews for co-op jobs. We want to run a workshop at the National AIChE Conference to give student leaders resources, such as interview tips and resume advice that our E-board has compiled over the years to guide each chapter in hosting their own career advancement meeting. We will then explain how to efficiently run a meeting that will allow all attending students to receive the help they need for any of these critical professional development skills.
