Don’t Get Screwed

Do not pay for someone to write your resume or to review your resume. Don’t be stupid. Get together with your friends or people who sit around you in a certain class or anyone who is willing to reveiw your resume for you. Return the favor by reviewing their resume, and you will be surprised what you will learn. Everyone has their own tricks and style, and if you switch resumes with enough people you have a nice little bag of tricks from which you can choose from for different job applications with resume submissions. The people around you that are going through the same search and experience that you are will be your greatest resource.

If you absolutely can’t find a single person to review your resume, go to the career center and they will help you out. Don’t feel stupid. It would be stupid of you to not ask these people for help because 1) it is their job 2) they have seen many students’ resumes and 3) you need a great resume in the right format to be considered.
