Resumes and Cover Letters
The Brown Center for Career Exploration works to create engaging workshops and programs that support your professional growth and help you explore your skills, values and interests. These events also serve as a way for you to connect with employers, community partners and alumni.
If you’re not sure where to start, you might find meeting with another student as a great way to begin.
Meet with one of our highly trained Graduate Career Fellows during open hours to help you get oriented to all the resources of the Brown Center for Career Exploration.
