Welcome to Garrett College's Resume Guide! This guide has been developed to help you write, maintain, and improve your resume as a college student, and beyond! The main purpose of a resume is to land you an interview, so having a good one is important. A good resume will show off your qualifications and employable qualities to employers and recruiters, which puts you one step closer to achieving your dream job.
You may be asking yourself, "In today's digital world, do I actually need a resume?" The answer is YES! Your resume is your single most important marketable job tool. Even if you are required to complete an online application for a job, having your current resume on hand makes the application process smooth sailing. Often times, you will still need to upload or email a resume to accompany an online application. Even if it is not required, it demonstrates professionalism to provide a well-curated resume to a prospective employer.
