Effective Resumes

Good article!  I agree that so many students still don't know who to listen to when it comes to their resume.

When students come to me and say Professor Sadar what am I doing wrong, I have sent so many resumes and I am not getting a call back. 

Resumes should not be generic and one page.  Remember, the job of your resume is to land you the interview.  A great first step in accomplishing this is having this as your goal.  Next, ask yourself is my resume targeted to the job I am applying for?  Will my resume differentiate me from the hundreds of other applicants?  Within a few seconds will the recruiter see that I have the experience and I am a right fit for the position?
