You will need to thoughtfully tailor your applications to the specific positions and organizations.

  • Use the resume and cover letter guides to help you create or revise your documents.
  • Consider both formal and informal experiences you could include to highlight skills you’ve learned, the pace and scope of your work, the levels of responsibility or decision-making you’ve held, and the accomplishments you’ve achieved.
  • If you have applied to a large number of positions and you aren't seeing follow up from prospective employers, meet with a career adviser to discuss tips for your overall search strategy.
