Hiring is handled through the residence life department. Some schools require that you enclose a resume as a part of the application process. You can get assistance on resume writing in the Career Center. It is strongly recommended that you develop a resume even if one is not required as a part of the application process. A resume should be submitted if you are for applying for Graduate or Teaching Assistantships or other employment opportunities.
Many schools require an interview prior to acceptance into the program.
Your effectiveness in such an interview is dependent upon your level of confidence, which in turn is dependent upon the amount of preparation. Consider participating in the Career Center's Mock Interview Program and Interview Preparation Workshops. Use this timetable to review your choices and actions as you consider graduate school decisions. Plan to recheck this timetable at the end of each semester to make sure that you are progressing effectively in preparing for and applying to graduate schools. Note your professors' research areas.
