Build a Resume

Your resume is the first impression you will make on an employer, so it is very important for you to develop a professional, error-free resume. Career Services offers many online resources to assist you in composing a professional resume.

If you are building a resume from scratch, LionHire has a Resume Builder Module that provides various formats and styles of resumes from which to select.

IMPORTANT:  All resumes uploaded to LionHire must be approved by Career Services staff before they can be used to apply for jobs. Your resume must meet our basic standards as outlined under the “LionHire Resume Rules” link below.

       

Before uploading your resume into LionHire, use our Resume Self-Critique Checklist to ensure your resume is complete and adheres to our LionHire Resume Rules. Once again, resumes will NOT be approved for use in LionHire unless they follow these basic guidelines and rules.

IMPORTANT: Approval of your resume is expedited by your adherence to our resume rules. We only provide a brief review of each resume.  We do not guarantee all errors will be detected.  You are ultimately responsible for ensuring your resume is free of errors.
