Creating Your Resume and Cover Letter

Resumes and cover letters are key parts of your job or internship application. They showcase your education, experiences, skills, and ability to communicate professionally. While each resume and cover letter should be tailored to the specific role you’re applying for, you can build from a strong foundation and customize as needed. Start by reviewing our resume and cover letter guides, choose a template designed for your major or career interests, and create or update your core application materials.

We also encourage you to schedule an appointment with a Career Advisor to have your materials reviewed and receive personalized feedback before applying.
