In addition, conducting a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) can help organize your strengths, weaknesses, and potential opportunities. This type of self-analysis is also helpful in learning as professors and instructors deal with and explain in general lectures offered at the university. Through this process, a clearer direction can be obtained. After setting your career goals, it is necessary to research information on related industry and jobs you’re interested in. General platforms like Worknet or LinkedIn are helpful, but using specialized platforms tailored to your major can give you a greater differentiation. One of the most important steps in career preparation is writing your own resume and cover letter. A resume should be clear and concise, while a cover letter should authentically convey your strengths and experiences with specific examples. Notably, to refine your documents, our university's CopyKiller Campus service, accessible through the Central Library website, can help you to pre-check for plagiarism and enhance the overall quality of your writing. ▲ Plagiarism Detection Service Provided by our university / Source: Cheongju University Central Library Website Seeking career advice from professors or having your documents reviewed by them is another highly effective approach.
