REVIVE YOUR RESUME |
April 14
With the job market more competitive than ever, it pays to have a stand-out resume.

|
Alisande "Alie" Ivie
is the college's first ENV Career Specialist. Below, she shares advice on what students can still do to make themselves job- and career-ready in the current economic climate.
Throughout my career, I have assisted many individuals in getting to the next stage in their career. I have also helped individuals that were having difficulties securing employment. Even though they applied to several positions, they were not receiving invites to be interviewed.
I would ask to review their resume to ensure that it has the necessary key elements. Most job seekers do not take the time to ensure their resume clearly states their strengths and skills that are relevant to that position.
