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
Where and how do you look for positions to apply to? A variety of job & internship search tools are available to you, as well as suggestions on how to navigate the process.
Also, be sure to attend our annual Engineering Career Fair at Thayer School, October 3, 2013
Student Recruiting/Networking Policies
Please read our 
recruiting and networking policies (PDF) before beginning your job or internship search.
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 are often crucial steps in the process.
