Today in class we are listening to the careers people on campus to help us to better our resumes and cover pages. They have also set up a networking event for us students in the CSIT to go and meet people. We are being advised on that everything that we send to a recruiter can be used against us with if we have a mistake that they will use this as a red flag against us and more than likely will not respond to us. The lady is now going through the cover letter on how we should organize it and what we should be putting in it in order to make a good cover letter. There are some really well laid out resumes that were passed out to help us in how to make a resume and cover letter the correct way in order to get the job. The resume should have enough to get that interview that is the whole point on why we have a resume so that we get the interview. When making a resume and showing the job experiences on where we have worked before, we do not have to put all of them because we only want to put relevant ones. If we do get the job, then they will ask about the experiences then so they will know everything.
