Career Center Highlights

Questions Corner 

Question: What qualities are important for future professional success, and how can I develop those qualities?
For any professional opportunities, it is important to possess core competencies that prepare you for success in the workplace. Additionally, knowing how to demonstrate your core competencies will prepare you for success in the workplace and lifelong career management. By learning how to develop and articulate your core “career readiness” competencies, you can strengthen your candidacy for internships and jobs. 

 Here are some ways to help you get started:

  • Assess which competencies are your strongest and which require a more intentional focus.
  • Set goals for competency development in your academic and co-curricular experiences at CC; strategically pursue activities and involvement that will enable you to develop and demonstrate these competencies.
  • Seek to incorporate career readiness competencies into your “story” and professional identity, including articulating related skills in your LinkedIn profile, resumes, cover letters, interview answers, and other application/self-marketing materials.
  • Utilize the Career Center’s interview training platform, Big Interview, to practice answering interview questions about your competencies.
  • Seek feedback from supervisors, mentors, and peers about their perceptions of your competencies based on their observations of your behavior in different settings. 
For additional help on where to begin, visit our website or schedule an appointment with a Career Consultant at the Career Center to explore the value of competency awareness, development, documentation, and articulation!
