Students

The Wooden Foundation provides no cost group assistance to both high school and college students. We do so through the generous support of our corporate sponsors as well as through our volunteers’ efforts. Please visit our sponsor websites to inquire about their potential career opportunities.

Sample topics covered in E.D.G.E. Workshops:
(Earnings Depend on Gaining an Edge)

1. Introduction (typical search methods, general overview of job hunt)
2. Resumes and Cover Letters
3. Recruiters, Staffing Firms, Outplacement
4. Networking Techniques
5. Additional Networking and Group Activities (spot opportunities, volunteering)
6. Interviewing
7. Negotiating
8. Miscellaneous (body language, eye contact, thank you notes)
9. Summary (Q&A)

Group workshops complement the efforts of your career services department, but neither our workshops nor most schools’ career services efforts can provide the sort of ongoing one on one help most students need.

What if I want or need more help?
The for-profit Wooden Group, founded in 2002, has provided one to one assistance to hundreds of job hunters. Click here to be taken to their web site for more information on fees and services.
