Professional and Leadership Development Requirements
Resume and interview support + leadership experience
Peace Corps service and similar international development work opportunities are highly professional and selective. PC Prep requires three specific activities that will strengthen your candidacy for the Peace Corps (or any other professional endeavor):
- Have your resume critiqued by someone in the Center for Career and Professional Development.
- Attend a workshop or class on interview skills at the Center for Career and Professional Development.
- Develop at least one significant leadership experience and be prepared to discuss it thoughtfully. For example, organizing a campus event, leading a work or volunteer project, or serving on the executive board of a student organization.
