Career Services advisors are available to review your resumé and provide personalized revision suggestions. Email a copy of your resumé to careerservices@uat.edu for assistance to make it stand out.

Tips for effective resumes:

  • Ask faculty and/or employers (current or former) for letters of recommendation and attach to applications.

    • Hard skills are technical skills that can be learned through practice and study (example: a programming language like Python).
    • Soft skills are related to your interpersonal interactions and personal attributes (example: effective communication).
  • Consider audience awareness in crafting your resumé, cover letter, portfolio, and any other applicable materials.
    • Reflect your audience’s values, demographics, goals, beliefs, etc.
  • Don’t forget to add supporting documents like a link or attachment to your portfolio (PDF is recommended).

General job interview tips:

  • Dress business casual, unless otherwise noted. Clothing should be clean, neat, and well-fitted.
  • Always be sure to bring three copies of your resumé, unless otherwise noted.
  • Always review the company’s website before the interview. You should arrive with a basic working knowledge of who they are, what they do, and their mission and vision.
    • It’s recommended to find something on the potential employer’s site that genuinely resonates with you and share that alignment with the interviewer.
  • Always have questions ready for the interviewer. Good topics include the company culture, mission, and vision.
  • Be sure to send a follow-up email or even a handwritten note to the interviewer(s) afterward to thank them for their time...It might just help set you apart.
