Career Advancement: Interviewing
Hours: 1.00
Though resume building and job interviews are important aspects of career development, many nursing programs do not focus on these skills during school, instead spending that time on clinical practicums and NCLEX preparation (Sailsman, 2021). Once in the profession, it is easy to neglect these important career development skills, as people naturally become complacent in their positions and/or knowledge over time.
