Career Planning

A Cougar Favorite Site

Finding a job can be a full-time job in itself! There are applications and resumes, interviews, phone calls, and of course...the waiting. The following links will give you information and tips on how to make sure you have a competitive edge when it comes to your resume, your cover letter, your interview, and even your thank you notes.

Resume and Interview Resources

A resume will not get you a job by itself, but it is often the first step to getting an interview. Your resume is often the first impression a potential employer will have of you, so make it look and sound good. These sites provide tips and examples on how to do just that.
