"Applying for internships was a great opportunity for me to practice my interviewing skills and work on my resume. With the help of the career center, I was able to gain confidence in my skills and I know that this confidence helped me get the internship I have now. This process taught me many skills that will be valuable  as I search for jobs."

-Senior English Intern,

World Vision

"One thing that helped me get my internship was having my resume critiqued, both in class and in a walk-in appointment to the CDC. The first screening of applicants for the Boeing internship is based solely on resumes, so it's really important to have a professional resume that stands out among the masses."

-Junior Business Administration Intern, Boeing

"I got my internship through an informational interview required for my class. They weren't even looking for an intern but because of my networking ability the President contacted me and hired me on the spot."

Business Administration Intern, Agros International

Need a Great Resume?

A resume is an advertisement; your personal billboard developed to market your skills and abilities. There is no "right" way to write a resume but there are guidelines to follow when constructing one:

• Format the resume for easy reading; it's digested in 10-20 seconds
• Clearly demonstrate that your strengths and experience match the job requirements
• Specifically tailor your resume for each job
• Remember it's a summary, not a historical document
• Avoid templates or resume wizards; they take up too much space and constrict your editing abilities
