Everest University - Brandon Campus Career Services

It is never too early to prepare your résumé.  Over the course of your study at Everest University-Brandon, there will be many occasions when you will use a résumé to market yourself. Full-time and part-time employment opportunities are obvious times, but events such as job fairs, provide opportunities for you to network by presenting your résumé.

There are two purposes for a résumé, neither of which is to get a job.  The main purpose is to get the attention of the reader.  The résumé may be a potential employer's first impression of you.  Present yourself as a professional, organized, and competent person so that the person reading the résumé will want to meet you.  The second purpose of the résumé is to help interviewers remember you after the interview and to help them present you positively to others.  Your résumé is an advertisement for you.

A résumé is a summary of your academic, employment, and personal experiences.  Focus on your career interests and organize your qualifications in support of your career goals and objectives.  Complete your résumé by concisely describing your specific skills and experiences.  Your résumé should lead the interviewer to ask questions that let you emphasize your accomplishments and talents.
