Attention: 3L Job Bootcamp sign-ups begin today!

The Office of Career Services and OPICS are pleased to announce that sign-ups have begun for our 3L Jobs Bootcamp.

Overview of Program
John Wooden, the legendary UCLA basketball coach said, "Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."  This philosophy led John Wooden to win ten NCAA national championships in a 12-year period and be named national coach of the year six times.

Job searching is difficult, and it is very easy to get bogged down in the negative, rather than focusing on the positive.  The 3L/4E Jobs Bootcamp will provide you with a personal trainer, one-on-one consultations, and follow-up appointments to monitor your progress...please click on the headline above for additional information and registration.
