Resumes

A resume conveys your professional story - your motivations, skills, interests, and values. It demonstrates to employers the value you add to their team and mission. 

Highlight experiences and skills that are relevant to the position. Be specific when writing descriptions and incorporate numbers when possible to quantify your achievements.

Reviewers typically look at resumes for 10-20 seconds. Keep their attention by being concise, consistent, organized, and clear.

Meet with a Career Advisor, Career Contact, Career Mentor, or professional in your field to review your resume prior to submitting to ensure the resume is tailored to the job/field and to avoid typos.
