Resume

A Resume is the basic tool used in a job/internship search. It should be a brief summary of your abilities, education, experiences and skills. A resume is an opportunity to present your best characteristics and accomplishments and to demonstrate your potential for future success. The idea is not to list your entire life history, but to present a concise picture of your experiences, education and skills as they relate to your career goals.

Review the information found in the Career Center's handout and put together a draft of your resume and/or cover letter. Then stop by for a walk-in to have your materials critiqued. Our staff will review your resume and/or cover letter and make suggestions as to how you can most effectively present your education, experiences and skills as they related to your career goals.

Resume Handout is available on eCareerCenter

Cover Letter

A Cover Letter is a marketing tool that accompanies every resume. It is an opportunity to highlight strengths, show how you can meet the employer's needs and convey your enthusiasm, motivation, and sincere interest in the job.

It should be concise, attractive, well written and focused to the individual position.
