Focus session: What employers look for in job candidates

You started your master’s degree hoping it would open doors and advance your career. But so far applying to jobs has felt like a big “unknown,” and your job search isn’t moving forward as quickly as you’d like.

You’ve submitted resumes online with no response back from employers. Recruiters ghost you and don’t respond to your messages. Understandably, you’re worried about the competitive job market, where hundreds of other job candidates have similar credentials.

So how do you stand out in a crowded market? What are employers really looking for in master’s graduates?

This 2-day focus session is uniquely designed for master’s students from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

• What do employers look for in master’s graduates?
• Which skill(s) and type(s) of work experience are in demand in my career field of interest?
• How do I translate my experience into terms that will convince employers I am the right candidate?

This focus session is sponsored by the Global Higher Education division of ETS®.
