Resume for Job Search
The links below lead to tips, techniques, and examples of resumes,
cover letters and job applications. We invite you to spend a few
minutes with our examples to see if there are any techniques that
might help you be more successful in your job search.
Remember, your resume is one of the most important documents you
will ever create. It is designed to get you interviews and
eventually a job, an internship, or into a graduate or professional
school. It translates what you have done in the past into what you
can do in the future for a new employer.
Employers typically skim resumes, spending an average time of
only 15 to 45 seconds on each. The decision to consider you for an
interview often begins or ends at this point. Your goal is to
captivate the reader while answering the question, "Why should the
employer want to interview you?" Think of your resume as a 30-second
personal commercial.
