Feel free to schedule an appointment with an alumni career consultant for personalized feedback on your current resume, or detailed pointers for starting a new resume.

During your job search, remember that your documents should indicate that you are a good “fit” for each position to which you apply. Ask yourself how each role has prepared you for your next step, and include the relevant details that “add value” to your candidacy. It’s perfectly acceptable to remove irrelevant roles, or to truncate the job description to minimize the space allotted. Keep in mind that your LinkedIn profile can be much more comprehensive, so include a link so that employers can learn even more about you.
