Start/Update Your Résumé

  • Start and keep your résumé updated! One of the early steps in preparing for a job and/or scholarship search is the development of a high-quality résumé that represents your skills, experience, and educational attainments. Your résumé is the document that will either attract an employer/scholarship provider to call you in for an interview or will block you from having that opportunity.
