Ask me anything: Career insights from Center for Career Development experts

All alumni were invited to attend an hour-long, “Ask Me Anything” session with two experts from BU’s Center for Career Development (CCD).

The experts were ready to tackle any and all questions about finding a job, building your network, or advancing your career in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Questions like, how can I prepare for a virtual interview? What skills are most valuable amidst the current recession? How do I navigate the world of layoffs or furloughs?
