Your resume -- a vital component of your job search!

An average resume has approximately 20-30 seconds to make an impression on an employer, either positive or negative, during the initial screening. Take advantage of this short opportunity to persuade the employer to grant you an interview or to request your formal application.

Make your first impression count! Follow the links below to learn more about developing your resume and then contact a professional in the Career Center. Career Center staff can provide expert assistance and specific feedback on how your resume can better reflect you and what you have to offer a future employer. The same goes for cover letters! Make an appointment to discuss and have them reviewed. We also offer several hours per week of walk-in times during which you can have resumes or letters reviewed by a staff member. An alternate, time-saving, option is to attach either or both documents to an e-mail and send them requesting a critique.
