Note about Federal Jobs
Note: Positions with the federal government require a different type of resume than other jobs. Resumes are often over one page long and include all previous work experience (including hours worked per week, salary, and contact information of all previous supervisors). For more information, contact the employer or an advisor at your career center.
Need some guidance?
Don’t forget to make use of your university’s career center. Trained advisors can assist you with your job search or career decision. When you are ready to apply, have an advisor proofread your resume and cover letter. It is important to have someone else review your application before the final submission. Finally, take advantage of resources at your school to improve your interviewing skills so you are prepared for the next step.
Finding a job is tough, but plenty of help is available. Good luck!
