Being "career ready" means doing everything you can to prepare and execute a successful transition to the workplace. Career readiness involves:

• Learning about the competencies employers value and seek in new hires;
• Reflecting on your own competency development through your course work, extracurricular activities, volunteer experience, student jobs, and internships;
• Proactively seeking out opportunities to further develop and enhance your competencies;
• And communicating your competencies to employers using language they understand in your application materials and interviews.
