Build a Professional Resume

Prepare an Effective Resume!

Cartoon of Moses Presenting His Resume

A good resume takes time to put together. It is a difficult assignment but the rewards are well worth the effort. It is not unusual to go through several drafts.  In short, a resume is your concise summary of your professional qualifications, employment history, skills, and qualifications. The resume is an expression of the strengths and qualities that you possess, rather than a confession of what  qualifications you lack. It is an opportunity to present  your best self to a potential employer.

NEED TO WRITE A RESUME BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN?

Simply make an appointment with a Career Services or Cooperative Education professional who will work with you individually to create a professional resume that best articulates your strengths. Together we will explore and help you articulate your job objective, work experience, academic success, and co-curricular achievements. We have a variety of sample resumes for you to review to help you get started.

Then, your resume will be ready for on-campus recruiting, the Annual Career Fair, and appropriate employers that you would like to target in your undergraduate and post-graduate job search.

Please stop by our offices, and pick up your sample resume packet.
