Resume Critiques
There is no such thing as a "perfect" resume. The most effective resume for you will be the one that best highlights your qualifications for the target job, presenting accurate, clearly-written information without grammatical or spelling errors.
Getting Started
Generate a list of everything you have done or earned in college relating to jobs, campus activities, class projects, travel abroad, sports, volunteer activities, awards, honors, foreign languages, computer skills, and so on. List as many details as you can recall including dates.
Focus on Results
When listing your experiences (work, campus involvement, volunteer, etc.) describe accomplishments and not just duties. Employers want to know HOW you have performed as opposed to what you were asked to do. For example, "Exceeded sales goals by 10% or more each quarter" instead of, "Promoted merchandise to customers."
Meet with a Consultant for a Critique
Once you have drafted your list of college activities, jobs, etc., contact the Career Center for a resume critique. Initial critiques are done in person by a Career Consultant. Walk-ins are welcome; however, you may prefer to call ahead to schedule a particular time.
