Resumes, Speeches, & Cards
Hey NSBE Fam!
When we roll [deep] into a career fair, we want to exude confidence. How do we accomplish this? With a polished resume, a perfected 90-second commercial, and asking hengaging questions. We're here to help you achieve all three.
Resume
*** Corlan's suggestion: For CS and CmpE majors, I'd highly recommend buying the book The Google Resume: How to Prepare for a Career and Land a Job at Apple, Microsoft, Google, or any Top Tech Company; it's an excellent read.
***** Don't forget to visit Career Services and the Office of Experiential Learning to get your resume critiqued!

Business Cards
**** Corlan's Suggestion: Printing is cheap! If you can design a card on your own, using Photoshop or a Word Template, you could easily print out a few pages worth of cards at The Spot of FedEx Kinko's, for less than $0.50 a page and cut them yourself. It's cheap and effective!
