Resumes

Resumes have one humble but important job: to open a door and get you an interview.

Start with the Resume Guide to create a draft resume. Bring your draft to Walk-in Hours, for brief resume critiques every weekday, 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. in 101 Stearns. Longer appointments are available if you need more help.

First Resumes

In first resumes, include your college and your high school, and any work or other experience that you have had that will allow a potential internship or other employer to form a sense of your skills.

After-graduation resumes vs. co-op or other undergraduate resumes

Your after-graduation resume should be different from your coop resume!

It should target specific jobs and summarize past job accomplishments and results with both qualitative and quantitative statements.

Resumes for International Students and American Students who want to work overseas
