Résumé Tutorial

First impressions count when you are seeking a job or internship. How you present yourself to prospective employers through your résumé will determine if you are called for an interview. The Career Center staff has developed this step-by-step guide to help you build your best résumé.

Your résumé is a…

• concise summary of your education, experience, skills and qualities relevant to an internship, job or career field.
• marketing tool to promote your background to prospective employers when applying for positions or during networking opportunities.

As an added bonus, developing a résumé can improve your interview performance by helping you become more aware of your strengths. You will then be more confident about discussing your background with prospective employers.
