Spring Into Resumes!

Hi everyone! I'm Stephanie Wech, a Career Associate Coordinator at Career Services. One of my favorite things about working at Career Services are doing Resume Reviews. We have many handouts available for helping you with your resume. Whether you're just starting to build your resume and have no idea where to start, or if you just want to make a few changes, Career Services is the place to go! Besides handouts, we also have "Resume Review Binders" and our Online Resume Review Workshop; both will help guide you through the Resume Making Process. Feel free to stop by or call our office to set up a Resume Review Appointment or to speak with a Career Associate about getting started; we're more than willing to help! Those of us who take Resume Review Appointments go through a semester-long training session, so we can be very helpful when it's time for you to create a resume.

General Tips
* DON'T leave anything out just because you feel its "not relevant"--many jobs have 'Transferable Skills', meaning that your work ethics/skill sets can match up for other job positions (Ex: Leadership, Teamwork, Communication, Time Management, etc).
* DON'T use a template!! If we can tell you used a template, almost any HR or Recruiter will notice too!


* DO Start Early! Even as freshmen, you can start listing all the activities and experiences you have under your belt!
* DO use "ACTION VERBS"--it will be your best friend when trying to think of bullet points or changing up your word choice.
*DO make a Resume Review Appointment in Career Services! We're open M-F 8:00am-4:30pm.

Hopefully you won't be as intimidated by resumes any more! Feel free to call/email/stop by if you have any questions or want to make an appointment!
