It is important to get a good resume before you actually go to talk to companies. If your resume is bad, you will not have a chance. First you should go to this website to see how you should design it. It is also a good idea to look at a few friends resumes to get an idea too. You also need to decide if you want to put your GPA, Major GPA, or no GPA on your resume.

Once you think your resume is good, you need to get someone else to look at it to see if it really is a good as you think, it probably isn’t. Take it to CCO in Stewart Center 194; they will have recommendations on how to improve your resume. They are open to look at your resume Monday-Friday 9:00am to 4:30pm. It is really important that your resume be good since the recruiter from the company is going to glace over it really quickly, less than 30 seconds.
Now that you should have a good resume after revising it from the comments CCO gave you, you need to post it on CCO. You can do that by going to CCO’s website and creating an account and uploading your resume and defining your major. CCO allows you to apply for jobs that recruiters have posted there, but it also allows employers search for you even if you did apply. You can then search for various jobs that are available and that fit you. The goal here is to give you as many avenues to get a job or internship as possible.
This is not something you want to wait till right before the job fair to due because you will not be able to have CCO or your friends look over you resume to see if it is good before presenting it to companies.

One of the things you can be doing to improve your resume is to join some kind of social club, especially one concerned with community service. Employers are always looking for well-rounded candidates; commitment to community service is a great way to demonstrate that you care about more than grades and jobs.
