CAREER PLACEMENT

Resumé Assistance

Having a job referral or hot job lead isn’t enough to get you employed. You need to have the skills to present yourself in the best possible light in order to successfully compete with other applicants. A great resume is a must for any applicant. It’s what the employer uses to screen applicants and determine who they will invite to an interview. It isn’t unusual for a business to receive resumes from dozens of applicants for one position, but only invite six to eight of them for an interview. No matter what your qualifications for the job are, they must be presented on your resume in a way that will stand out to the reader while maintaining a polished, professional look.
Career Placement Services offers free resume development workshops to Mt. SAC students and graduates on a weekly basis. You will learn the basics of resume development and the format most beneficial for your personal use. A guide and examples will be provided.
If you already have a resume, and you would like one of our staff to look it over, you may bring it to us and request a resume critique. You will normally receive the resume back with comments within a few working days.
Word of Advice: Don’t wait until you need a resume to write one. Develop your resume now and you’ll be ready to use it when the opportunity arises.
