Resume Preparation

Let's face it: there's no shortcut to a good resume. But by spending a little time and effort, you can craft a document that will sell your accomplishments, big or small, to potential employers and graduate schools. 

You'll spend four years earning a diploma -- you can spend a few hours to create a great resume, right? 

A note about CVs: If you're trying to develop a Curriculum Vitae (CV) for graduate school, a job in a technical field or a foreign position, schedule an appointment with a member of our staff. CV styles vary according to their use, and we can help you craft the right document.
