Today's job market is competitive, to say the least. Gone are the days when job seekers could get results from photocopying a one-size-fits-all resume and mass mailing it to every employer. Gone are the days when job seekers could passively post their resumes to online job boards and get quality results.
Jobs are out there, but so are many, many qualified candidates. To land your next job, you must set yourself apart from the leagues of other job seekers.
The Mercer Career Services Office assists our students and alumni job-seekers in
re-thinking their approach, creating a strategic job search, preparing and building confidence. Use this site as a starting place and consider using our coaching, counseling and consulting services.
