Well, August has come and gone and we’re all now (ever so slowly) starting to think about that new rhythm that comes with fall. Perhaps some of you will be looking for a new job, volunteer opportunity, or some part-time work to supplement your studies. This is a great time to finally whip that resume into shape, you know, the one that’s in such a sorry state. Please, don’t attempt this feat alone; experts are waiting to assist you! The CRL reference assistants can point you in the direction of resume resources for every need. So make an appointment or just stop by.

Here’s a sample of what we’ve got on the shelves:

How to say it on your résumé : a top recruiting director’s guide to writing the perfect résumé for every job, by Brad Karsh, 2009

Résumé writing made easy : a practical guide to résumé preparation and job search, by Lola Brown, 2007.

We also have lots of discipline-specific resume books such as these:

Resumes for business management careers, 2007

Resumes for the health care professional, 2000

For more resources on resume writing, also check out our eLibrary for Resumes and Cover Letters Career Guide and Career Resources by Discipline Career Guides, where you’ll find a resume section for every field.

For resume counseling and more career advice, contact the Career Education Center, visit their website, or call them at 617.521.2488.

We hope you’ve had a nice start to the new semester and don’t forget to visit the Career Resource Library soon!
