Decoding Job Descriptions for International Students
Presented by: Caleb Yu

Please join us for a session where we dissect a job description to get to know how job descriptions may be written differently in the U.S. culture, the skill sets/experience that are sought behind each bullet point, and share tips on how can you use a job description to help you construct your resume/cover letter and eventually help you in your interview.
