- Strong professional materials, yet struggles to make it past the screening stage for most roles
Employer-Competitive

- Positioned themselves for success through networking, company research
- Excellent professional materials and a strong demonstration of their commitment to ongoing learning
- Effective outreach and follow-up strategies for each role pursued

Career Services FAQ
Who are the people that comprise my Career Services team, and when do I meet them?
Your career team includes a dedicated contact for career material feedback and for career coaching. They offer 1:1 coaching to share strategies, tools, and additional resources to help you conduct a competitive search. Your Career Services team will send you an email on day 2 of your program and will be in constant contact to keep you on track with your professional milestones. While 1:1 coaching typically begins towards the end of the program, you are welcome to contact your Career Services team for support at any time.
How does the Career Services Employer Network benefit me?
The career team has a network of over 260 employer partners. You’ll work with your Career Material Adviser and Career Coach to become eligible for job referrals to our employer partners. We maintain a close relationship with our partners to stay up-to-date on what they are looking for in top candidates. We then use that information to guide the career services that you receive and to make sure our curriculum features the most in-demand skills. We are always updating our program’s curriculum and career support resources to be in line with what employers are looking for. As a boot camp participant, you’ll gain exclusive access to the knowledge and resources to best position you for success.
What type of job can I get after the boot camp?
While there are general job types and career paths that match your program, the exact job you land after the program depends entirely on you. Your target role will depend on a variety of variables, including your past experience, your career interests, and where you’d like to live-not to mention, the work you put into your search. Your Career Coach can help you determine which path(s) are best for you and help you review job descriptions of your target roles to help make you as competitive of a candidate as possible.
What support or resources are available to me to prepare for interviews?
The career team offers interview support in the following ways:
- Mock Interviewing – You can schedule a mock behavioral interview with your Career Coach. They will conduct a practice interview with you and offer feedback to help you improve.
- Behavioral Interview Prep Session – Sign up for a behavioral interview workshop, which explores the basics of a behavioral interview, shares best practices, and provides you with an approach to respond to common interview questions.
- Field-Specific Interview Workshop – You can also register for one of our various field-specific interview workshops. You’ll learn strategies on how to answer specific questions within an industry/role in the first half, after which, you’ll practice with a set of real-world questions.
Will I be successful in finding a new job or securing a promotion?
It is important to note that success in your job search depends on your target role, your market, and most importantly, YOU. Career Services is here to amplify your efforts, not replace them. Our team can help you become a more competitive candidate and, through that process, increase your chances of achieving your career goals.
