Resume for Job Search

The links below lead to tips, techniques, and examples of resumes, cover letters and job applications. We invite you to spend a few minutes with our examples to see if there are any techniques that might help you be more successful in your job search.

Remember, your resume is one of the most important documents you will ever create. It is designed to get you interviews and eventually a job, an internship, or into a graduate or professional school. It translates what you have done in the past into what you can do in the future for a new employer.

Employers typically skim resumes, spending an average time of only 15 to 45 seconds on each. The decision to consider you for an interview often begins or ends at this point. Your goal is to captivate the reader while answering the question, "Why should the employer want to interview you?" Think of your resume as a 30-second personal commercial.
