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 Career Center.
- Attend a workshop or class on interview skills at the Career Center.
- 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.
