Resumes, resumes, resumes. Does your whole future depend on that little piece of paper? It’s standard procedure to send a copy of your resume to any employer you wish to get an interview with. That’s what the resume is for, to get the interview. Once you’re in, that’s when you get to talk about all of the things you have done in your past.
The trickiest part of making a resume is to decide what information is essential, and what can be left out to be talked about in the interview. Luckily, the Career Center is here for you when you make that first draft. You can drop it off at our office or send it by email (career.center@valpo.edu). What we will do then is go over your resume with a fine-tooth comb and tell you what could be taken out, what needs to be added, how it should be formatted. We provide format templates on our website that will help you get started on the right foot. You will also find some tip sheets on our site as well that help you put your foot in the door for that interview.
And if you are still looking for more tips, there are many resources all over the internet that are dedicated to help you polish your resume. And our library in the office contains several books that are entirely dedicated to that one little sheet of paper.
