- These are the services offered by the Office of Academic Support. There are a variety of topics and ways in which we can assist students with their academic success. Updates are made frequently on the Academic Support @ NEC Website and resources will be available in the online community group in the ANGEL learning environment.
- Tip – save each “job clump” (the information for each position held including dates, job tasks, accomplishments) saved in a document. When you are applying to jobs, cut and paste each clump in a way that makes the most sense for that job (if you are doing a functional resume).
- Think about the process of going through 200 applications each with it’s own cover letter and resume. Of course we would love to assume as the applicant that the person deciding is taking their time and carefully scrutinizing the actual experience and not being so picky about the format, few errors, etc. But realistically they are likely looking for a reason to put as many applications in the “no pile” as possible. Don’t let them put yours there by being sloppy or pleasing to the eye.
- Even if… your address is in Albany, NY and you are applying to a job in Dallas. State that you are currently seeking employment in the Dallas area. It’s ok to do this even if you are actually considering many other places as well. Sometimes people will assume that since you live so far away that you are not that interested in this specific job. Don’t let them make that assumption! Even if… your recent degree is not an exact match to this specific job. Explain that although you have recently received your degree in Education, you are actively persuing a career in the Marketing field, etc. Otherwise they might feel that you are just looking for something temporary until you find your “dream job”
- Careerbuilder.com is easy to use, free and has some great free resources for resume and cover letters
- Indeed.com pulls job postings from many different sources. Type in any job in any area and see what happens!
- www.interfolio.com. This site does require a fee. But you can house all of your resumes, cover letters, recommendations letters, etc. And pay per mailing. It is easy and saves time (and although you have to pay, you don’t have to worry about stamps, printing costs, etc.)
