For most students, creating their first resumé or cover letter is a challenge. Career services staff can help them by offering tips on format options, items to include (or not!) and current best practices in resumé writing. They can also proofread and offer suggestions for improvements after the initial draft is done.
Career services staff work hard to develop relationships with businesses, from local employers to global companies. They actively market
their students to these companies, many of whom take advantage of
the opportunity to hold on-campus interviews. Career services can help your student sign up for these on- campus interviews, or schedule online interviews when those are offered.

Resumé and cover letter help
Interviewing is stressful, no matter how much work experience your student may have. Students preparing for their first professional interview may feel scared. Career services staff can offer guidance and support. They should be able to provide a list of likely interview questions, helpful tips on answering questions, ideas on how to prepare, and — best of all — staff who will do practice interviews with your student and provide constructive feedback.
