Friend,

As a parent, we know that you want your child to have every opportunity at building the future of their dreams. But the path through college and to the professional world can be overwhelming to navigate.

UNCF is here to help. We’ve put together resources to help guide entry into the professional world with the skills and tools needed to thrive.

Today, we invite you to explore these UNCF Student Professional Development Program (SPDP) professional development resources:

• The UNCF Resume Template can serve as a proven example of an effective resume. Your child can use this to craft their first resume and ease their transition into the professional world.
• The SPDP Resume Prep Guide offers a slide-by-slide breakdown of all the elements which make for an effective resume. They can learn how to write about their experiences, what key words employers want to see and more.
• The STAR Interview Response Technique helps your child prepare for the behavioral and situational questions they may face in a job interview. It offers an effective framework to tell a story with a clear conflict and resolution.

Transitioning from college to your child’s first professional job can be intimidating — but it’s not impossible. Taking the time to prepare by utilizing these resources will offer your child the skills and the confidence they’ll need to kickstart the career of their dreams.

Explore these SPDP resources and help begin to develop the professional skills they’ll need for lifelong success.

Thank you,

UNCF
