Our interns and volunteers receive help with their careers and businesses. We can then help with ideas specifically for you. In most cases, it is better to keep your resume and cover letter to one page each. Consider adapting your presentation for specific types of jobs you apply for. It is good to give specific statistics, facts and figures that summarize the size and value of what you worked on and accomplished.
Additional ideas are in books on marketing and job hunting.
For career direction, we also suggest an assessment like the Strong Interest Survey or Myers-Briggs. Even after you graduate, your school may offer these free, as well as additional job search and career help. In addition to our letter of recommendation, ask other places you have worked or volunteered, too. Then, keep the originals and make copies to send with your resume or bring to interviews. This can be a good source of quotes for your resume and cover letter, too.
