If you have computer skills, your draft can be saved on disk and easily updated. Use matching stationery and envelopes for your mailings. Do not attach photographs because companies do not want to be found guilty of discriminating because of sex, age, or race. Read your resume as if you were an employer. Once you have an outstanding resume, carry copies with you to distribute to interested people who are willing to pass them on to friends and business and professional acquaintances.
Many students find that passing out their resumes in a variety of settings provides helpful leads.
When you go for an interview, take extra copies in case your interviewer has misplaced the one he or she previously received in the mail. The director or associate director will review your resume for content, clarity, and format. This process may take more than one visit, so allow ample time for this process. Resumes are printed by appointment. You must be present to assist in the printing and please allow 30-45 minutes for completion.
