Creating a "Killer Resume"Jeff Patten - Career CoachPurpose . . . It's a word that's been a recent topic of conversation

surrounding Career Services and career preparation. Purpose is important for any number of resources or services as it relates to addressing the needs of our student population. Purpose is especially important when it comes to the construction of a resume. Without a clear purpose, it's difficult, if not impossible, to create an effective resume.

Resumes are used to demonstrate how you, as a candidate for a program or a position, are prepared to step into that program or position. You must be clear, concise and direct in describing your attributes as they relate to what qualifies you for this position or program. It is essential to read the position description (or program description), and tailor the information in your resume to demonstrate how you fit what the employer or institution is seeking. Learning to read a position description accurately and deliver answers to the questions posed in that position description is the first step to creating a "Killer Resume".

Your contact information . . . how the employer can get in touch should always come first in your resume. Your heading should include your name (large & bold), address, e-mail address and phone number. A mailing address, while not essential, does allow the prospective employer to send you printed materials, should that be a concern. Additionally, you might include a web address if you have a website or blog as well as your LinkedIn address if you have a LinkedIn profile. Next in your resume, you might have an Objective. While it is NOT essential to print an objective on your resume, it's a good idea to begin your document with a clear objective . . . it speaks to the Purpose of writing the document. An objective functions like a thesis statement when you're writing a paper. It helps you to know what you should include, as well as what you can leave out.

I'm fond of using metaphors to communicate ideas and to help students conceptualize how they can develop a resume that will accurately represent them to the reader. The primary metaphor that I like to use is that "a resume is a snapshot" - It's a quick picture of who you are . . . in relation to what the employer is seeking. Think of a snapshot of yourself. We all have pictures of ourselves we like and pictures we're not so keen on. What's the picture you want to present to this specific employer or program? You get to choose the composition of this snapshot, what information gets foregrounded and what gets backgrounded. The most important information in a position description is usually listed first. Make sure that the content of your resume addresses the employers' primary requirements first. Now this is a point where many constructing a resume struggle. The conventional design for a resume is "in reverse chronological order",

i.e. most recent to least recent. This remains true, but it's an incomplete idea.

Your resume should be organized in reverse chronological order - by heading or category. You get to decide the headings or categories you include. Make sure that they address those items the employer is seeking. So, let's say that a year ago you had an internship or did a project that relates directly to what the employer has posted in the job description, but for the last six months you had a job waiting tables at a pizza parlor. Your first heading might be "Relevant Experience" where you describe the internship or project, which you might then follow with "Other Experience" where you describe your waiting experience. If you have other more "relevant" content you may not need to talk about the waiting job at all. So what's relevant? Relevance is determined by the purpose of the document. What is relevant in one instance may not be in another. This is why it is essential to tailor your resume to its' purpose. You cannot create a "generic" resume. One size does not fit all when it comes to resumes. The second step to a "Killer Resume" is to tailor its' content to its' purpose.

The third step to a "Killer Resume" is proofreading. This document is important to you. It's important because it represents you to the reader. It should be important enough to you that you not only spend time creating it, but that you spend the time to proofread it carefully. Start by using Spellcheck and Grammar Check, but don't stop there. There are errors that these tools may not catch. It's a good idea to have someone else proofread your resume.A "Killer Resume" doesn't have to be difficult, but it does require work. The effort you put into writing your resume will be rewarded in kind. The easier you make it for the reader to see how you're a sound candidate for the program or position to which you are applying, the more likely you are to move forward in the process. Check out our Resume Guidelines on the Career Services website to assist you in constructing your "Killer Resume".GRAD CORNER

Academic Job Search - the Community College.                   Jeff Patten, M.A., Career Coach, Career Services

The field of education, and more specifically post-secondary education, may already be a career aspiration for some of you. You may be exploring post-doctoral opportunities that will allow you to continue your research and present teaching assignments as a portion of your work. For others, your research may take you away from the university into industry and commercial ventures. In all of this, the community college may be completely ignored. I would challenge you to

reconsider the community college. Why? If you are considering an academic career, there are certain advantages a two-year campus offers. First is the sheer number of opportunities. If you ignore community colleges you may be reducing your potential job opportunities by as much as a third. Can you afford to ignore that many possible positions? Second, that number of opportunities may be increasing due to increasing enrollments and retiring full-time faculty. Third, if you have a passion for teaching, the community college may be exactly where you should be looking. Community colleges are primarily about teaching . . . not research, not grant funding, not publishing. Teaching. It's important to note that the expectation of publishing that is most frequently the hallmark of tenure at four-year institutions rarely exists at two-year campuses. Are there drawbacks to teaching at the community college? Certainly. First, as full-time faculty, expect a heavy teaching load. Five - five, or teaching five courses each semester is a typical load for community college faculty. In addition to teaching, you will be expected to serve on committees, keep regular office hours and advise students. Does this preclude research? No, but any research you choose to pursue will probably be outside a normal 40 hour work week. And your students may not be as well prepared to do college level work as students at a four year campus. This may require more effort on your part regarding instruction and presentation of course materials.

So why do so few graduate students consider opportunities at the community college level? While there are probably a number of reasonable answers to this question, I would suggest two that you should consider. The first and the most often cited is prestige. This prestige may be real or merely perceived, but as we move from secondary education to graduate study, the community college is found on the lowest rung. Are you going to feel like a "real professor" at a community college? Are your graduate school peers and colleagues going to take you seriously if you take a position at a community college? And does this matter to you?

A couple of things to consider as you reflect on these questions. If status is your main focus, perhaps academic life isn't your real calling. Let's face it; if you're seeking celebrity, education is probably not the most practical medium. Yet, there is prestige for the community college faculty. Within their field and locale, they are frequently experts in the local community. They also have the larger network of community college educators in which to develop expertise and even celebrity. Yet, perhaps a better place to focus is on the need that the community college fills. An increasingly greater number of students find entry to higher education through the community college. Students from lower socioeconomic status, ethnic minorities, as well as older

students seeking to improve or change their career path often begin at the community college. As a community college professor, you may have the opportunity to inspire a scholar, an entrepreneur, an inventor or innovator who might not otherwise have the encouragement to move beyond what is already known and familiar. If you're intrigued by the possibility of nurturing inquisitive minds and sparking an interest in those fields of study, consider the possibility of teaching in the community college.

There are jobs listed for specific majors as well as jobs open to all majors, and since it's a searchable database, you can set parameters to see what opportunities might be a good fit for you.

In order to access the system, you must be a registered user of our Web site. What follows are some frequently asked questions about Wildcat Joblink that will help you get the most out of this resource.

What is the difference between Preselect and Open interview schedules?Preselect schedules require that you submit your resume to demonstrate interest during the resume submission period. Resumes are then reviewed by the company and selections are made. Those students that have been selected to interview can sign up during the preselect sign up period listed in the job description. Open schedules are available for students to schedule an interview without the selection process as long

as you meet the requirements and appointment times are available.

Doesn't my resume just go to the companies that are interviewing on campus?No. You must demonstrate that you are interested in the company and position -AND- that you meet the minimum requirements by submitting a resume.

How do I submit a resume for campus interviews ?Click on the 'Jobs' tab on the upper toolbar. Select 'Jobs and Campus Interviews' from the drop-down menu. On the search interface, find the 'Show Me' drop-down menu and select either 'Interviews I Qualify for' or 'All Interviews'. Click the 'Search' button. Then click on any 'Job Title' of interest to you. If you meet all of the employer's screening criteria, and resume submissions are still being accepted (check the dates), then you should be allowed to submit your resume. If you have multiple resumes uploaded, select the resume you would like to use. Click the 'Submit' button.

How come I don't meet the requirements to submit a resume?Employers can, and do, specify academic requirements for resume submissions and scheduling sign up. These requirements can be majors, degree level, graduation dates, and work authorization status. For MBA schedules, employers can also have minimum GPA requirements.

I don't meet the requirements, but I would still be a good candidate. What can I do?Ask Career Services for assistance. Use the feedback box on the Wildcat JobLink home page to send questions or comments. Many times your experience or educational background is so close to the requirements that we will add your resume to the submissions. Career Services can re-evaluate the job description and determine if something is missing from the requirements. We may encourage the employer to modify their requirements. We might advise you to apply directly to the contact.

What Career Services cannot do:- We cannot submit resumes of students who do not meet the work authorization requirements that are set by the employer.- If you missed the deadline, we cannot submit after the resume submission period has closed.- We cannot submit resumes of internship-eligible-only students for full-time positions.- Check back before the deadline passes, perhaps the requirements have been modified by the employer.

- Apply directly on the company's website. Look for the jobs that match your needs.- Speak with the recruiters at a career fair, info session, or club presentation. You just might be the exceptional candidate they did not expect to find.- Contact information is listed within each job description. If you cannot apply on Wildcat JobLink, you can apply directly. If you receive notification that you have been selected to interview but find that you are not able to sign up online, contact Career Services to assist you with scheduling.- Attend the company's Information Session. If there were last minute cancellations, an employer might agree to grant you an interview.How do I sign up for an interview? The employer said I was picked to sign up.Log in to Wildcat JobLink. Click the 'Interviews' tab on the top tool bar, select the 'Interview Requests' tab to check your status. A status of 'Pending' indicates your resume is still under review by the employer. 'Invited' means you have been selected to interview. If you wish to accept the interview, click the 'Schedule Interview' button to choose an interview date and time slot. If you don't wish to interview, click the 'Decline Interview' button which will allow the employer to select another candidate. A status of 'Not Invited' means you were not selected to interview.

Do I have to attend the informational meeting for the company I wish to interview with?Yes, and no. Some companies require students to attend informational meetings as part of the hiring process. Other companies encourage students to attend to learn about the company, career paths, hiring process and benefits. Always plan to attend the information meeting. Why miss the opportunity to network with the recruiter you will eventually interview with? Demonstrate that you truly are interested in the company and its job opportunities. If you are unable to attend an information meeting for a good reason, be sure to contact the company's representative as a courtesy. If you plan to attend an information session, please RSVP. To do so, in Wildcat JobLink, click the 'Events' tab. Click on the date of the information session to view the event description. If you wish to attend, click the 'RSVP' button.

Can I come in on the interview date and get a time slot?No. All interview appointments must be arranged prior to the interview date.

What is the "No-Show" policy?Students who fail to properly cancel or do not show up for a scheduled interview are restricted from Campus Interviewing activities. You must

cancel your interview at least 48 business hours before your interview or you will be counted as a No-Show and blocked from the Wildcat JobLink system and suspended from future interviews until you address the No-Show.

To avoid a No-Show, cancel your scheduled interview online or call the Career Services office at least 48 business hours prior to the scheduled interview. If you fail to do this, you will be counted as a No-Show and, as a matter of courtesy, an apology letter MUST be sent to the employer and a copy of the letter submitted to Career Services. You will be unblocked from the Wildcat JobLink system the same day your apology letter is received at Career Services. To cancel online, in Wildcat JobLink, go to 'Interviews', click on 'Scheduled Interviews' and click the 'cancel' button.
