In this first episode our three hosts Michelle, Pierre, and Rebecca introduce themselves and talk about what to expect from this career resource podcast. We start with a general overview of professional branding and what that really means to help launch your career. Next, we discuss the services of a career center and offer tips to access related resources. Finally, we answer a common question job seekers ask. 

Topic #1 We look at the idea of branding and discuss how this corporate-driven perspective can be adapted to support job seekers present themselves to employers. Also, key terms are defined including resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn.   

Topic #2 The resource of the day discussed in this episode is your local career services center office with a close look at College of DuPage's Career Services Center’s website. We provide tips to leverage your local office as a student, alumni, or working professional and help you get connected to support resume writing, interviewing, and all things job searching.  

Topic #3 We answer the common question, “How long should my resume be?” The answer provides insight to make the determination based on different stages of your career, amount of experience, and what is relevant to your goals.
