We invite faculty and staff instructors to collaborate with the CDI on a class assignment
or special project. If you are requesting a class presentation and an assignment, there are two separate request forms.
We recommend speaking with a CDI staff member in advance if your class assignment
will require the direct involvement of the team (e.g., resume reviews, mock interviews,
career assessment appointments). We want to ensure we have the capacity for the volume
of students at any given time.
Please use the Class Assignment Request Form to submit requests several weeks in advance.
Students will upload their resumes to Handshake for written feedback from the CDI staff. Feedback will be shared with the course
instructor. Ideal for large class sizes.
2. Resume/Cover Letter Appointments
Students will schedule a virtual or in-person appointment with the CDI. Appointments
are scheduled for 30 minutes. During this time, students will receive feedback on
their resume and/or cover letter and learn how to optimize their document(s) for applicant
tracking systems (ATS). Ideal for small class sizes.
3. Resume Review Days
Students will attend an upcoming Resume Review Day. These events are excellent opportunities for students to network with employers
and receive expert feedback on their resumes in preparation for our career fairs.
Note: Completion of all assignments will be tracked by the CDI staff.
Students will attend an upcoming Mock Interview Day. These events are an excellent opportunity for students to practice their interview
skills with a career coach or a recruiter. If you would like your class to participate,
please let us know in advance so that we can accommodate your students and track participation.
We will verify which of your students attend.
2. Big Interview
Course instructors will create a Big Interview assignment for their students to complete
(training documents and video below). Big Interview is an AI-powered interview training
platform that features hundreds of video lessons on topics including elevator pitches,
behavioral interview questions, salary negotiation, and more! It also features a library
of 1,000+ interview questions that students can practice with on their own or for
a class assignment and receive instant AI feedback on their performance. Faculty can
also request for students to receive feedback from the CDI staff.
Students will schedule a virtual or in-person appointment in Handshake. During this time, students will practice common interview questions and receive
feedback on their interview technique. Ideal for small class sizes.
Note: Completion of all assignments will be tracked by the CDI staff.
Consider adding a career fair or event to your course syllabi or offering extra credit for your students to attend. These
are excellent opportunities for students to participate in professional development,
while networking with employers and identify internship and employment opportunities!
At several of our events, students can also receive free professional headshots for
their LinkedIn profiles.
Note: Attendance at all events will be tracked by the CDI staff.
