Your resume/CV is one of your most important marketing documents. In most cases, it is your first opportunity to sell your product (you) to potential employers by highlighting your strengths, skills and experience to separate you from the crowd. It is also an opportunity to showcase how your skill set is best matched to the job for which you are applying.

As you create your resume, it will be important for you to look at samples, read tips and evaluate your experience and skills. We have collected some of these resources to facilitate your research. Of course, once you have a draft, be sure to make a career counseling appointment with a counselor for further refining!
