Professional Resources

It is essential to develop your own brand. One's personal story is developed and displayed through resume, cover letter and online profile writing; networking within your personal, professional, and W&M circles; and preparing for the interviewing process. The ability to write and speak with impact about yourself is critical in your search for internships and jobs. The Office of Career Development & Professional Engagement has developed tools to help you create the best personal brand possible.

The career guides are intended to give students an overview of the accompanying career paths associated with each area. Each guide provides core competencies, organizations & associations, skills & qualifications, employers actively recruiting, interviewing and/or hiring W&M students within your major area, job titles, and sample resume.
