Is Your Resume Ready?

When you apply for internship eligibility, an updated resume is required. The qualifications for your resume are:

  • 1-page
  • Single sided
  • No listed home street address

If your resume doesn’t include relevant information or it needs a bit of work, your application could be held for review. Here are some tips for a successful resume:

  • Includes ONLY relevant information – education, experience, skills and coursework
  • In the education section, order schools reverse-chronologically (College, then High School)
  • Don’t clutter it – leave white space
  • Make it well organized

If you are still having trouble putting together a resume or you want someone to look it over, the Career Resource Center offers great resume help.
