Want your current resume critiqued or updated?

Stop by the Career Center for a resume “tune-up”

Your resume is a one or two page summary of your experience, skills, qualifications and education – it is your 30 second sales-pitch.  Make the right impression right away – you may not get a second chance.  As a marketing tool your resume needs to express to a potential employer that you are worth talking to.  Your main goal is to get to the next step -  the interview.  

Learn how to target your resume to the job you want.  Applying for a cook position?  The skills you want will to highlight will be much different from those you would use for a retail position.

Employers often have a large number of applications for each position they advertise.  As part of the screening process, they may start by discarding resumes with spelling or typographical errors, as well as ones that don’t show you have the desired qualifications or skills.  Let your Career Practitioner be an extra set of eyes to help you catch errors and help you create the right resume for the job you want before you start handing it out.
