Resumes and Letters
When applying to any opportunity, your resume, cover letter, and application materials are the very first impression made upon a recruiter.
Your documents should present who you are as a candidate in a clear, concise, and compelling way, that is customized for the position to which you are applying. To get started, we suggest the following:
- Format your documents using the anatomy of a resume and the anatomy of a cover letter as guides
- Review our interactive sample resumes for all majors and industries
- Attend a drop-in session to meet with a Hiatt Advisor to review the first draft of your documents
- Visit the Writing Center to assist you with developing language and to review grammar
- Meet with a Hiatt career counselor to strategies applying to positions
- Attend workshops about resume preparation and job and internship search
Resume approval is not required when applying for the Brandeis IBS Business Major. We strongly encourage all students to have their reviewed before submitting their applications.
