Resume DOs and DON'Ts

Hey everyone!  Here are just a couple of resume tips to keep in mind:

  • Beware of dressing up your resume with colorful fonts.  You may be able to make an exception if you're a Graphic Design major, but bring it by for us to check out.
  • Resume templates are to be avoided like the plague.  They kinda make it seem like you're lacking initiative if you use one.
  • Highlight your volunteer activity.  Especially for underclassmen, volunteering and participating in unpaid internships is a great way to gain experience.
  • Be specific about your job responsibilities on your resume.  For example, if you trained a new hire, what exactly did you teach them?
Have a great weekend!
