Creating Cover Letters, Résumé s & CVs

After you’ve found a job you’re interested in applying for, you must get your foot in the door and, for most jobs, and you do that with a well crafted résumé and cover letter. This can also be the case for paid internship opportunities. In some cases, especially in the education and health-care fields, you may be asked to submit a CV (short for curriculum vitae) instead of a résumé. We’ve included a CV link below if you find that you are required to present a CV to a future employer.

The information found in these sections is not meant to be an all inclusive guide to creating the perfect résumé and cover letter. You are strongly encouraged to seek the assistance of the career counselor in the career resource center to provide feedback and suggestions for your individual résumé. Your academic advisor or program coordinator is also a good source of assistance with your résumé.
