Albany, NY, January 22, 2014 – Bryant & Stratton College today announced it is offering free one-on-one career sessions to local residents from January through March at the Bryant & Stratton College campus in Albany. Residents can book one-hour appointments to receive expert advice and help developing their job search skills from Valerie Pettigrass, Career Services Director at the Bryant & Stratton College Albany Campus.
The free career sessions can help those looking for ways to improve their job search strategy or first-time job seekers. At the sessions, local residents can take advantage of:
Customized feedback on their resume or assistance with resume creation
Expert advice on drafting cover letters
Instructions and strategies on how to effectively search for jobs using keywords and popular job posting websites
