EPIC Training Evaluations 2018-2020: Responses from 87 students show mostly strong agreement that the EPIC courses improved their confidence in their job search, in areas such as organizing the job application process; contacting individuals in the desired career field; identifying relevant work skills; using a resume versus a CV; updating your LinkedIn profile; writing a persuasive cover letter; framing thoughtful behavioral interview answers according to the STAR method; creating Feature, Attribute and Benefit Statements describing previous work; and analyzing a job offer.

The [EPIC] module really helped me analyze how I should word my responses, cover letters, resume, and CV to help me be called to an interview.
