Crafting a perfect application requires more than just error-free spelling and grammar. A resume must be framed and formatted to present you in the best way possible, a process that is founded on organization, composition and marketing. Similarly, interviewing is more than just talking. You must demonstrate your ability to perform tasks effectively and your organizational fit, which is built upon personal reflection and research.
The Student Success Center is eager to help you better understand yourself and organizations so you are able to articulate your qualifications more fully.
