Resume Samples

Hello everyone. Due to the lack of additional copies and the fact that we are quite a tech-savy chapter, we decided to upload the sample resumes from members of the executive board below. As you can see, resumes vary in style as much as they do in content, so use this as a guide while you craft your own. Sometimes it helps to see examples of your peers who are around the same level of expereince to judge what should and should not be included.

More resources and professional examples are available at the Career Services office in room 533 of Baker University Center or on their Web site, www.ohio.edu/careers.

Following Monday's meeting at 7 p.m. we will have a resume workshop. Anyone who is going on the Chicago trip is required to attend. Anyone else who is compiling their resume for internships and jobs is also encouraged to attend. We will have a short presentation going over important elements of your resume and tips on how to improving it, as well as have a critique/help session with some our executive board members.
