Preparation
Your resume is often what creates a first impression of you with potential employers. It is critical that there are no typographical, grammatical or spelling errors. While you may consider one error insignificant, it could result in your resume being thrown away. In addition to experience (both paid and unpaid), employers are most often looking for competencies and skills in new graduates that lead to success in their organizations.
We encourage you to have your resume critique by Career Services prior to sending it to an employer or posting it on Career Services Online. The following links are instructions and guidelines for resume writing:
