Your Career Development and Management course, also known as CDMA, is a core component of your professional development journey as a Freeman student. Whether you’re crafting your resume, preparing for interviews, or considering a career pivot, CDMA is designed to provide the foundational tools and strategies you need to navigate your career with confidence.
What makes CDMA even more valuable is that once you complete the course, it’s set to “Perpetual” access in Canvas. That means you can revisit the content anytime—days, months, or even years after completing it. Think of it as your on-demand career playbook, always ready when you are.
Still wondering when you might want to refer back to CDMA? Here are a few common scenarios:
Prepping for interviews: Need a quick refresher on the STAR method or common behavioral questions? CDMA has resources for that.
Updating your resume or LinkedIn: Unsure how to word a new experience or quantify your impact? CDMA modules can help guide your updates.
Revisiting your values and goals: Taking stock of your long-term goals or considering a change in direction? The course offers self-assessment tools that can help you reflect.
Relearning networking strategies: Forgot how to write a cold outreach email or structure a networking coffee chat? It’s all in there.
Getting unstuck: Sometimes you just need a reminder that you’ve got this—and CDMA can be the spark that gets you going again.
