- Be aware of your personal strengths, opportunities for growth and be prepared to respond appropriately when
asked about them. - Build a solid resume and avoid costly mistakes (typos, format errors, disclosure of confidential information, etc.)
- Consider the verbal and non-verbal messages that your resume may send. Ask yourself, “Are my e-mail address,
voicemail greetings and ring tones professional?’ and “Would I be proud of my social websites if a potential employer
viewed them?” - Utilize your resources (career service center representatives, faculty members, formal and informal mentor, etc.) to
provide valuable feedback and constructive criticism. - Know your competition, and learn how to stand out from the crowd…in a positive way.
