R\u00e9sum\u00e9 and Cover Letter Basics<\/h2>\n

A r\u00e9sum\u00e9 is a document that displays skills, experiences, accomplishments and education. Most employers will take 30 seconds or less to look at a\u00a0r\u00e9sum\u00e9. Therefore, your\u00a0r\u00e9sum\u00e9 has to make a strong impact and communicate your value within that short time frame. It should be customized to match a position.<\/p>\n

To create and format the first draft of your\u00a0r\u00e9sum\u00e9, use the\u00a0following guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A cover letter introduces you and your\u00a0r\u00e9sum\u00e9\u00a0to an employer. It highlights your most important skills and accomplishments and is an opportunity to tell the employer why you are qualified for the position. It also is an opportunity to express enthusiasm \/ passion for the work you can do. It should be customized for each job opportunity.<\/p>\n

To create and format the first draft of your cover letter, use the\u00a0following guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Interviews<\/h2>\n

Learn how to make a great first impression at your next interview.\u00a0Explore different resources<\/a>\u00a0from attire suggestions, commonly asked questions, and following up after the interview.<\/p>\n

Networking<\/h2>\n

Students are encouraged to create a\u00a0LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0profile and expand their network by developing meaningful connections with like-minded professionals and alumni. The University of La\u00a0Verne has several LinkedIn groups you may join to research opportunities and be a part of the conversation.<\/p>\n
