Resumes, Cover Letters and More

Most students dread the day they need to put together a resume or even worse – a cover letter! These critically important documents are the key to getting an employer's attention; however, getting started is always the hardest part. Our tips for resumes, cover letters, and other correspondences can help ease the process.

Job & Internship Search Tools

Interviewing

Now that you have an interview, you will need to prepare: What questions will I be asked? What should I know about the company? Our interviewing resources will help you get started.

Evaluating and Negotiating Offers

Great – you've got an offer! Better yet, more than one! Decision time can sometimes be stressful. Where do I want to work? What is "best" for my career? Should I be getting paid more? Evaluating and negotiating offers is often a crucial step in the process.
