Resume/Cover Letter Overview Presentation
If you have something to work with, make edits:
- Update Education section with college information
- Use Guttman email as contact information
- Add academic projects, events, or experiences you have had this year
- Use tips to try and improve bullet points:
○ Consider how you discuss your skills
○ Action verbs
○ Who, what, when, where, and why?
○ Another tip: Look up the position on any of the career exploration websites used last semester (O*Net, MyNextMove, Occupational Outlook Handbook). Get ideas from the language these sites use to describe the skills and tasks associated with a particular position.
If you do not have anything, start from scratch using a template:
- Makes FORMATTING easier
