National Career Development Month

National Career Development Month

The month of November is National Career Development Month. Career Services is honoring this annual tradition by pledging to review 1,000 resumes. If you don't have a resume already, go make one! Now is the perfect time to do so. Need a template to start with? Check out our Career Beam resume builder resource. There are multiple online resources for students to help build a strong resume in addition to the one-on-one experience with an advisor. Another good resource is Career Services' pinterest pointers on resume writing.

If you already have a resume, then cheers. You are ahead of the game. Whether your resume is old or new, it would be beneficial to have a Career Services staff member take a look at it. Think your resume is pristine? Bring it into our office for a confidence boost! That way, when you step into an interview, you know without a doubt that you have a solid resume.  

Setup an appointment by contacting your Career Advisor to have your resume reviewed. The Career Advisors have a variety of office hours and walk-in hours in different places. So, check your weekly emails or call Career Services (512.245.2645). If you are not sure which college you are in, find out before you make an appointment with a college-specific Career Advisor.

If making scheduled appointments does not work for you, visit a Career Counselor during walk-in hours (Mondays and Tuesdays between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and Wednesdays and Thursdays between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. - Walk-in appointments are approximately 15 minutes long) in our office located on the fifth floor of the LBJ Student Center, or you can take advantage of our 48-hour online resume critique.

Help us exceed our goal of critiquing 1,000 resumes this November in honor of National Career Development Month!
