Resume Prep

Resumes and cover letters are crucial to your job search. Whether you’re looking for a part-time job, internship, volunteer experience, graduate school acceptance, or full-time work, you will most likely need to create and maintain strong professional documents to apply. For many opportunities, these documents will be the employer’s first impression of you. When tailored and written well, these documents work together to help you secure an interview.

Career Consultants are available for resume assistance by appointment or during daily drop-in hours Monday-Friday, between 11 a.m.- 3 p.m.
