Writing Résumés and Cover Letters
Professional, effective résumés and concise cover letters are vital to your job search. Your résumé is seen by employers as a 'calling card’, and must be accompanied by a cover letter that states your interest in the position and emphasizes your skills and qualifications.
During Orientation week, a half-day session is dedicated to perfecting your résumé and writing sample cover letters. This intense preparatory workshop teaches skills and strategies you may develop as you start to network and apply for positions. For individual critiques during the semester, one-to-one sessions are available with the Career Management staff of the Office of Student Services.
