Resume Writing

A resume is an overview of one's skills, abilities, education, work experience and other and serves as an employer's first introduction to a candidate. So, needless to say...it's very important!

The number one thing that students must remember when submitting a resume is why they are doing it. The answer? You want to spark the interest of the employer TO GET AN INTERVIEW!

The Bishop's University Co-operative Education Office has created several documents to help you in this process (see below). If you are current co-op student at Bishop's, remember that you can always submit your resume to the Co-op Office for a free review (coop@ubishops.ca).
