Why do you need a resume

• You want a job or internship!
• You need to let specific employers know you are ready, willing and able to do their specific job.
• A resume is the first step in getting the employers’ attention and communicating your qualifications.
• In the process of gathering the information and writing your resume you’ll also increase your awareness of your accomplishments, talents and strengths.
• A well crafted resume should interest an employer in interviewing you and prepare you to provide evidence of your fit with the job.
