Students are often unsure of how to “market” their skills, knowledge, and abilities. As you navigate through this section, we encourage you to complete at least one self-marketing tool. Don’t worry, you’ve got this, let’s work together so you can land your dream career!  \nRésumé  \nA résumé is a document, usually one to two pages in length, which provides facts about your skills, knowledge, and ability to future employers. The purpose of a résumé is to capture a prospective employer’s interest, secure internships, placements or other work-integrated learning opportunities, and even apply to grad schools. Remember, résumé writing is more than merely stating the skills you have.

It provides names of employers, locations, dates of employment, job titles, and a brief description of your job responsibilities. This is a great way to highlight your past work experience.  \nChronological Résumé Example  \nFunctional  \nThis résumé format organizes work experience into skill clusters or functions.
