Resume Writing Resources

There are many campus resources available to students who are looking for help with resume preparation.

A good place to start is your college’s Career Services office. Many offer resume-writing workshops as well as one-on-one help, and have detailed handouts on how to format and shape your resume.

The Career Exploration Center has a library of resume writing materials that you can browse.

You can visit a consultant at the Undergraduate Writing Center, who can offer one-on-one resume help. They also have many of their handouts posted on their website, and the Virgil Project as a through section on resumes.

All students are also strongly encouraged to attend an Internal Transfer information session. The College of Communication Prospective Student Advisor leads these sessions, and offers some insight into what the committee looks for on an applicant’s resume.
