RESUME CONTENT & DESIGN
Building the "perfect resume" is vital to your success in attaining interviews with employers. Typos, grammatical errors, poorly worded descriptions can cost you the interviews you want and need.
Need help creating a resume ? Currently enrolled Rutgers-Newark students may use OPTIMAL RESUME to create a professional resume for use in applying for both on-campus and off-campus interviews. * NOTE: a Rutgers-Newark e-mail account is required to access and use this new software tool * |

Create a draft of your first resume or revise
your existing resume. Bring your draft in during Walk-In Period or schedule an appointment to meet with a Career Counselor for a critique. The choice is yours !
*Important: You will NOT be able to 'submit' your resume to employers through eRecruiting until your resume is "critiqued and approved" by one of our professional Career Counselors.
