Interviews & Resumes

The skills for your job search

• Résumé–writing Assistance

A great résumé is one of your key assets during your job search. Our Centers offer software, books and tips for assistance in creating a resume. Résumé writers are encouraged to bring a blank disc or jump drive for saving their work, and to allow ample time to develop an effective résumé. Staff members are available to offer suggestions. When emailing the Career Center staff your résumé to review, please attach a copy in PDF or Word format. We do not accept links to résumés stored on Google, OneDrive, or other cloud storage systems.
