RESUME AND CV DEVELOPMENT
In order to succeed in the job-searching process, you must have an effective resume. A resume provides a potential employer with a summary of your skills, experiences, academic endeavors, certifications, research opportunities, and extracurricular experiences. Most employers spend less than 10 seconds analyzing the resume of a potential candidate. Therefore, it is essential that you have a concise, yet descriptive resume. In addition, it must be both easy to read and interpret. Your goal is to advance to the next step in the job search process – the interview.
