Resume Writing

The resume is an important tool in your job search. Successful job seekers invest a great deal of time and talent in developing their resume to capture the essence of who they are and to communicate their unique qualifications. Your resume is also one of the best internship search tools at your disposal.

Applicants use resumes to introduce themselves to employers, with the hope of getting an interview and to be hired. Employers use resumes as a screening device to deal with responses to job postings and newspaper ads, and to help justify the hiring decision.

Our career services center offers courses, seminars, and many resources on resume writing, as well as opportunities to have your resume critiqued. Start writing your resume now! Then follow the guidelines from the Resume Blueprint presentation to develop your resume, and check our resume formats and samples.

Call to schedule an individual appointment with a Career Counselor to review your resume, or you may bring your resume and request a critique*!
*Once you drop off your resume for a critique, typically you can pick it up the next working day.
