Students are encouraged to continue meeting with career consultants for individualized discussion and feedback on their r\u00e9sum\u00e9s, job preparation and career goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe technology is powerful, but it doesn\u2019t replace personalized conversations,\u201d Gilliam said. \u201cIt helps us have more meaningful, focused discussions with students about their goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Faculty can also integrate Big Interview and Big Resume into coursework, including large-enrollment classes.<\/p>\n<p>The platform is available to all students, faculty and staff. Users must register with a Wright State email address to create an account.<\/p>\n<p>The Career Hub will offer training workshops to help users get started. Dates and times will be announced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Explore more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wright.biginterview.com\/\">Big Interview and Big Resume<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wright.edu\/career-services\">Career Hub<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wright State University is expanding career support for students with the launch of a free AI-powered platform that delivers instant feedback on r\u00e9sum\u00e9s and interview skills. <a href=\"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/2026\/04\/22\/wright-state-launches-ai-powered-platform-to-advance-career-readiness-and-strengthen-employer-connections\/\" class=\"morelink\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":165190,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2034,2048,725,715],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-165182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-career-services","category-enrollment-management","category-home-news-sidebar","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/43"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165182"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165182\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":165196,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165182\/revisions\/165196"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165190"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
