Creating
your resume may be one of the most important parts of the recruitment process.
After all, your resume helps you get an interview, right? Your resume needs to
be more than just a piece of paper with your information printed on it. It
needs to be an advertisement of your skills, talents and experiences. In many
ways, your resume is like an advertisement, you need to sell yourself! You are
going to highlight your assets. It should always be written with the employer
in mind and answer the most crucial questions about you. For each position you
are interested in, you should tailor your resume and cover letter for that
specific position. Most importantly, you should always be honest. You
should never embellish your experience or job titles.
Do you need
help with your resume? Don’t forget to use your school as a resource! Many
universities offer resume seminars through the Career Services. You should
always take advantage of those! It never hurts to have someone else proofread
your resume and give feedback.
