By publishing your resume to a resume book, you are allowing employers to find you based on positions appropriate to our majors and degree programs. The Career Development Center has no control over which employers may contact you. It is your responsibility to update and maintain the resumes you upload. If you have not logged on to the system for 120 days it is assumed you are no longer looking for employment and your resume will be automatically removed from the resume books.

Resume Help

Look through half a dozen books on resumes, and you'll find six versions of what a resume "must," and "must not" include. In reality, many of these rules are merely the writers' opinions. However, we'll start with the premise that the resume will be read quickly, with a second, closer look occurring if a candidate makes the first cut. Therefore, a resume has to be easy to read, short, but filled with information. Having said that, the following guidelines make sense:

1. One page is usually sufficient for internship and entry level resumes.
2. List items in reverse chronological format.
3. An objective summary of qualifications is your opportunity to communicate at the top of the page that you know what you're looking for and are qualified for the job.
4. Focus on the "hot spot." Is this the most impressive, relevant information on the upper half of the page?
5. It's better to read like a list rather than a letter. This is achieved with action-oriented "bulleted" statements (note: these are rarely complete sentences and person pronouns (such as I, we, etc.) are not included.
6. Lead you statements with verbs.
