Resumes and Interviews

A well-put-together résumé is a job search essential. And once you've secured an interview you'll want to put your best foot forward. The following tools will help you create or refine your résumé and give you tips to prepare for your interviews.

You may also meet with a Career Counselor who can assist you in editing or revising your résumé.  Or attend our Résumé Writing Workshop offered periodically throughout the year.
