Resume writing is soooo important to college students.  In this stage of our lives we’re constantly filling out applications, many of which simply require a cover letter and resume.  In those two sheets of paper how do we make ourselves stand out to internship coordinators at the same time remain professional?

I took away many new ideas from GRF Seema.  One of my new personal goals is to keep from having gaps within my work timeline.  Hirers may be concerned by seeing a time gap for x amount of years or months months where I didn’t have any type of position.  This is especially a red flag in this stage of my life.  I should be constantly gaining new experiences to cultivate my skills and develop myself professionally.

My second goal is to gain certifications that will set me apart from other applicants.  Before I graduate I want CPR training.  I would also like to complete workshops to become advanced in recent versions of microsoft computer programs, photoshop and indesign.
