What do I say? What do I wear? What should this resume look like?!? Those are among the stressful questions job seekers face when entering the job market. But at Husson University, Career Services is aiming to take the scariness out of the job search. 

Career Development Week will be held on Oct. 30 through Nov. 3 and will feature a series of interactive events designed to prepare students for their future jobs, including Husson’s first ever Career Fashion Show.

“We’re thrilled to help students as they get ready for post-graduation life and careers,” said James Westhoff, director of Career Services. “We’re especially excited to host our first fashion show to really help students understand the meaning of ‘business casual.’”
