Writing a Successful Resume
The
resume is a critical part of the job search
process. It serves as an introduction to
who you are, and most importantly, has one
major goal in mind: to secure an
interview!
In addition to landing an
internship,
co-op,
or
permanent opportunity,
a resume may also be requested when being
considered for scholarships,
graduate school,
and membership into professional
organizations.
Recent studies
show that, on average, it takes professional
recruiters 11 to 13 seconds to review a resume.
Knowing this, your overall objective should be
to make a quick, yet lasting impression by
customizing a resume that matches the needs of
your potential employer with your knowledge,
skills, abilities, experiences, and strengths.
What if you’ve
never created a resume? Maybe you have a resume
but it needs work? Ready to get started? If
