What is a resume and why is it important?
A resume is a professional document outlining your college experience. A resume can be used for the following:
- Applying for volunteer, shadowing or research positions
- Searching for a job or internship
- Providing documentation to individuals who are writing letters of recommendation
- Applying for scholarships and fellowships
- Applying for graduate or professional school
Resumes must look professional, be easy to read and well written. A resume should be written during the sophomore year and updated every semester. It should be tailored specifically for the intended purpose (i.e. job search, applying to graduate school, shadowing, etc.). Sample resumes and additional information can be found on the Career Center website.
Who should I contact for assistance?
