General Information:
Writing a resume can be a daunting task, but the Career Development
Center is here to assist you! To get started, please read through the
different pages of the "Resumes" section on this web site. The guides
and sample resumes will provide a lot of information to get started on
your resume.
Read important
information about creating a Reference
List.
If you would like to have your resume critiqued by a professional at
the Career Development Center, you have several options:
Resume
Critiques by appointment: 30 minutes
to 1 hour in length. Please
bring a working copy with you for the appointment. (Alumni, please
see the "Alumni" section for additional information.). Call 909-537-5250 or stop in at University Hall, Room 329 to make your
appointment.
Walk-In Resume Critiques (in UH 329):
General Walk-In Times:
Tuesday: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Wednesday: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Walk-Ins
are not available during Finals Week each quarter.
Walk-ins
are first come, first served. These are approximately 15 minutes
long; so if additional time is needed, please
schedule an appointment. Please bring a working copy of your resume with you to
the Walk-In.
Resume Workshops: Come check out one of our resume workshops for general tips and tricks. Learn key ways to market your skills and talents to get your next job.
Reference List: Professional references
do not belong on your resume. Instead,
you can place "References available upon request" on your resume. You can also create a Reference List page that you can provide to employers when they
request it.
References should be people who can speak to your abilities
on the job. Do not list relatives or friends unless
they have worked with you directly as either a co-worker or an employer/supervisor.
Be sure to ask your references for their permission to list them on
this list; it is sometimes helpful to send a current resume to the
people listed on your reference list and give them detailed information
about positions to which you will apply.
Do not provide references to employers until they request
them.
A sample reference
list is available.
