What do you want to do with your life?
Do you have plans after college?
Weve all been asked these questions and may
have been frightened by the fact that we really
dont know where we will be after graduation. We
may not know what life holds after college but we
do know the time to prepare for those years is now.
The job market has come a long way since the
2007-2009 recession, in which 8.7 million jobs
were lost, but job hunting is still not easy and job
growth remains weak. These facts may not sound
promising, but in order to better prepare for our fu-
ture we need to improve our competitive advantage
by better preparing ourselves.
In order to do so, weve compiled helpful tips on
how to dress for interviews, improve your resume,
edit your cover letter, and use social media to your
advantage. After landing your interviews, take a
look at our piece on thank-you notes to know how to
professionally follow up with future employers.
Those still undecided or simply uninterested with
their current major should read the ve newest
majors that seem to currently carry the highest
demands for jobs after college. If those ve majors
dont cut it, the Q&A with Daniel Seddiqui, a job-
hunting expert who has held 50 different jobs in
all 50 states, can help inspire you to explore your
opportunities and land your dream job.
Dont dread your job hunt. Staying focused,
organized and goal-oriented while following our
helpful tips, will help you overcome our less-than-
ideal economy and land a great job. Soon we will
hopefully be making money at a job we love, thanks
to the effort we made during these four years.

50 jobs project replaces traditional job search

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Dressed in a gold shirt playing the part of Osiris, Daniel Seddiqui, center, entertains the crowds including Addison Breiding, left, and Lauren Miko as he performs as one
of the stilt walkers outside the Mummy ride at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., May 7, 2009. Seddiqui traveled across the country, doing a different job for a week in all
50 states.
In 2008 afer failing yet another job interview,
Daniel Seddiqui wondered to himself where all
the job opportunities were in the United States.
Soon afer, he embarked on a journey to work a
diferent job in each of the 50 states.
As a follow-up to 50 Jobs in 50 States, Sed-
diqui is lecturing at colleges across the country
about fnding a career, fnding your passion and
understanding culture and lifestyle.
Seddiquis lecture at the University is Wednes-
day, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. Te lecture will be in the
Big 12 room in the Kansas Union.
Q: What ultimately inspired you to work 50
jobs in 50 states?
A: A combination of building awareness and
desperation. I couldn't fnd work afer college,
so naturally I wanted to fnd opportunities any-
way that I could, and learn what I've been doing
wrong. Tere were many breaking points that led
me to the journey, so there were enough signs
to say, hey, Ive got to do something drastic and
unconventional.
Q: What was your favorite job? What was
your least favorite?
A: Tere are many great jobs out there that I
wouldnt have otherwise discovered, like fore-
casting weather on TV or hydrology, where we
hiked in the Rocky Mountains. I really liked
most jobs because it was a chance to learn difer-
ent industries that shape our country. Te worst
was lobstering in Maine because of being seasick
and I couldnt control my performance on the
site.
Q: What state did you like the most?
A: I liked all places that I hadnt visited previ-
ously, like Arkansas, Kansas and South Caro-
lina, because I wanted to learn about what the
rest of the country goes through.
Q: What job did you work in Kansas? Did
you enjoy it?
A: Meatpacking, and no. It was great to fnally
learn how food is processed, which I appreci-
ate the work people choose, but it wasn't out of
sight, out of mind, in the job. Tats what made it
tough, the fact that you had to face the discom-
fort of gunning down animals and then process-
ing them by hand, no machinery used.

Q: What was the most challenging job?
A: All were a challenge and thats what helped
me succeed in the journey because everything
was stimulating and new.

Q: How difcult was it to nd a job?
A: When youre not focused, it could be a near
impossible task. When you know what you
want, youll fnd ways to make it happen. In that
sense, yes I was rejected 5,000 times, but that
was taken out of the equation for me.

TECHNOLOGY
PROFESSIONALISM
Between seventh and 10th grade, most of
us realized the social importance of having a
Facebook, so we created profles on the site.
Now, between beginning college and entering
the job market, comes the realization of Linke-
dIns importance as a tool for the professional
world.
A LinkedIn profle essentially serves as your
online resume. In addition to whats normally
on your CV, like previous jobs and experienc-
es, you also need a professional profle picture
and a succinct description of your expertise.
Ten you can choose accurate keywords for the
skills and endorsements section that show-
case the breadth of your talent.
Once youve setup your profle, start connect-
ing with colleagues and friends. Tese people
can endorse your skill set and potentially
become resources for you. You can also join
groups to connect with professionals with simi-
lar interests and in the same feld as you.
Brooks Sargent, a sophomore from Prairie
Village, uses the site to connect with those he
has interacted with in academia.
By connecting through LinkedIn Im able to
draw upon that interaction for academic/pro-
fessional information or in the future maybe a
job opportunity, Sargent said.
Companies also post job listings on LinkedIn,
so you can search and apply for specifc jobs
online. Make sure your profle is clean and
complete before applying for anything though,
as employers will judge candidates based on
their profles as well as their applications.
LinkedIn can also assist in making an ap-
plicant stand out afer a job interview. Maria
Smithson, a 2013 University graduate from
Stilwell, used the site to help secure a job at the
Cerner Corporation.
Afer all three Cerner interviews I sent the in-
terviewer a thank you message and added them
on LinkedIn, Smithson said. Companies want
to know that you will go the extra mile and fol-
low up. LinkedIn allowed me to do that.

LinkedIn connects students, future employers
Customized cover letters strengthen job applications
How do you sum up your skills, past experi-
ences and creativity in one page for a future
employer? Te cover letter. According to the
KU Career Center, the purpose of a cover let-
ter is to motivate the employer to invite you to
an interview.
Journalism professor and career develop-
ment coordinator Patty Noland agrees. She
said the cover letter is the document that will
get you the interview. She breaks down the
letter into four parts:

1. THE ADDRESS AND
INTRODUCTION (2-3 SENTENCES)
Always address the letter to the name pro-
vided in the job listing and if you cannot fnd
that name, address it: Dear hiring manager.
Afer the address is the introduction of
yourself your name, when and where you
graduated and your major.
An article in U.S. News by Robin Reshaw
says that if you have a connection with some-
one at the company you should address the
connection in your opening sentences.

2. CUSTOMIZE YOURSELF TO THE
COMPANY (3-4 SENTENCES)
Tis is where you talk about why you like the
company. Noland says this part is where peo-
ple tend to make the biggest mistake because a
cover letter should be less about yourself and
more about the company.
You need to make sure you show interest in
the company and show them what it is about
the company that appeals to you, Noland
says.

3. WHY ARE YOU AN ASSET TO THE
COMPANY? (3-4 SENTENCES)
Te third part is about yourself and why
you would be a good asset to the company.
Highlight the best and most applicable parts
of your resume in this section and keep it to
about four sentences.

4. THE SALUTATION AND
FOLLOW-UP (1-2 SENTENCES)
Te fnal part is the salutation. Tank the
company for its consideration and say that
you will contact them within the next week.
Noland says that following up with the com-
pany to make sure they have received your
application is crucial and shows initiative.

For more tips on how to write the perfect
cover letter, the University Career Center has
numerous resources explaining how to write a
cover letter and other guides for entering the
job market.

Majors recognized for emerging job opportunities
ACADEMICS
JAMIE KOZIAL

Te majors listed below are chosen from
Forbes 15 Most Valuable Majors. As youre
looking through this list, you will notice most
of them are engineering majors. Wendy Shoe-
maker, the Senior Associate Director at the Uni-
versitys Career Center, said if you have techni-
cal skills, you would most likely fnd a job right
out of college.
Tey are such difcult skills to acquire and a
small group of people have those skills, Shoe-
maker said. Te demand for these people is so
high right now, Shoemaker said.

1. BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
people majoring in biomedical engineering
work in biology and medicine, studying to im-
prove the standard of care for patients. Teyll
work in hospitals or research facilities design-
ing or testing new products. By 2022, biomedi-
cal engineering jobs are projected to increase
27 percent. Te University has many diferent
facilities and centers for bioengineering majors
and graduate students to conduct research, in-
cluding the Bioengineering Research Center,
Te University of Kansas Cancer Center and
Hoglund Brain Imaging Center.
Peter Muehlbach, a junior from Prairie Village,
is majoring in chemical engineering with a pre
medical concentration and a math minor.
Ive known Ive wanted to be an engineer ma-
jor since high school, Muehlbach said. Afer
college, I plan to go to med school if Im ac-
cepted.

2. BIOCHEMISTRY
Te Universitys Undergraduate Biology Pro-
gram website says that biochemistry is the study
of all the chemical processes of organisms. In
simpler terms, it explains how every essential
part of life lives and works. At the University
of Kansas, to major in biochemistry there are a
few prerequisites you must complete. Once the
biochemistry degree is achieved, there are many
diferent jobs available in the pharmaceutical,
cosmetic, agricultural and biotechnology indus-
tries and even more opening up. According to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the entry level of
education needed to get a job in biochemistry is
a doctoral or professional degree. From 2012 to
2022, jobs are supposed to grow by 19 percent.

3. PETROLEUM ENGINEERING
Simply put, petroleum engineers study how to
drill oil and gas from wells. Bobby Archer, a ju-
nior from Fort Collins, Colo., chose to major in
petroleum engineering.
I want to work outside and have the opportu-
nity to get my hands dirty, Archer said.
He said when college is over, his ideal job
would be working of-shore as a drilling engi-
neer and overseeing how the drilling process
is going. He knew that job opportunities in oil
drilling are always needed (Te Bureau of Labor
Statistics said jobs should increase by 26 percent
from 2012 to 2022.) With the availability of jobs
and working outside doing something he likes,
petroleum engineering seemed to be a good ft
for Archer.
4. CIVIL ENGINEERING
According to the Universitys School of Engi-
neering website, civil engineers study to design
structures that we use everyday, such as bridges,
tunnels, roads, dams, and so on. According to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, civil engineering
jobs should increase 20 percent from 2012 to
2022. Recently the Universitys GeoTech group
was chosen to compete at the national GeoWall
competition in Atlanta, Feb. 23 to 26. Graduate
students and civil engineering undergraduate
students made up the GeoTech team. GeoWall
competitions involve teams making a wall out
of poster board and later the walls strength is
tested.
5. GEOLOGY
Geology is the study of the earth, what its
made of and how everything works together.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
more than 38,200 geology-related jobs were
availabled in 2012. Te Universitys Geology
Department has diferent categories of geology
majors, including environmental geology, earth
and space science, engineering geology and en-
vironmental geology. It also uses diferent re-
search facilities, including the Natural History
Museum, Kansas Geological Survey and the Pa-
leontological Institute.

Geology is no. 5 on Forbes 15 Most Valuable Majors. Bryce Cornejo, a geology major from Wichita, took Geology 360 in the summer. Geology classes, like Geology 360,
take students to Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming so students can observe rocks, structures and mapping of geological features that are millions of years old.

Wendy Shoemaker, the senior associate direc-
tor at the University Career Center, works with
KU students and the people in the Lawrence
community on their quest to fnding a job
through career counseling.
Te Career Center provides decision making
support for those looking to land a great job.
With 300 programs a year, presentations in
classrooms, and events such as Resume Review
Day, the career counselors are here to help in
every way possible.
Shoemaker, a former teacher, came up with a
system to having a successful job search cam-
paign based on her own personal experiences
with job searching.
Here are her tips to make your search easier
and to fnd a great job:

1. START WITH FOCUS
Defne your job targets early on. Know exactly
what youre looking for because it can get
frustrating without that knowledge. Do your
research. Come up with a Plan A, B and C. Like
each of those plans equally just in case one does
not work out, you always have something to fall
back on that you will enjoy just as much.

2. INVOLVE PEOPLE IN YOUR SEARCH
Ask people for help and get them involved
in your search. Tis could be family, friends,
neighbors, professors, anyone. Remember the
importance of networking 80 percent of to-
days jobs are landed through networking. Col-
lege is a perfect time to learn how to network
by getting involved in activities around campus.
Professionalize your social networking profles
because employers will see what you are doing
online. Use social media to your advantage and
show your interest/commitment in that feld by
discussing things related to that profession.

3. LEARN THE SECRET HANDSHAKE
Every company and profession has very
unique values specifc to them and youll need
to be aware of that. Do your research before-
hand and make sure your resume speaks to that
company and shows your knowledge of what
they do.
Most jobs will give you specifc directions of
what they want on an application; its impor-
tant to follow the directions they give you. Do
research and take the time to know how your
experiences ft with them.

4. PREPARE AND PRACTICE YOUR INTERVIEW
Take the time to practice beforehand by ask-
ing yourself why you are a good match for that
company. What are your special qualities? Have
those examples known. When speaking, say
for example and tell stories. Show that you are
the best candidate based on your preparation
and research.

5. FINISH WITH GRACE
Have common courtesy. Send thank you notes
to your employer and be sure to thank your
reference list. Also, be sure to update your refer-
ences on what you are doing and the outcome.
Its the best way to maintain and keep building
your network.

6. KEEP AN OPEN MIND
Dont neglect opportunities and be open to
trying new things. You never know where it can
lead.

WELCOME
Wake up, tweet. Go to class, Snapchat. Go to
lunch, scroll Instagram. Study in the library,
browse Pinterest.
Social media has become part of the daily rou-
tine. In fact, youre probably scrolling your Twit-
ter timeline and watching cat vines as you read
this article. However, this is not a social media
is ruining our lives article. Tis article is about
how social media is afecting your job search,
because graduating with a degree and getting a
job is our ultimate goalright?
Many would be surprised that social media can
actually help you fnd and get a job. According
to Mashable.com, many employers are using
social recruiting, which means companies are
looking for potential job candidates on social
media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
Senior psychology major, Austin Lentz, said that
he used Facebook to ask his friends about avail-
able jobs in the area.
A lot of people have bad things to say about
social media, but it can be helpful because you
can post one thing to over thousands of people
in a matter of seconds, Lentz said. I think using
social media for fnding jobs is very convenient
and it makes sense because its something we use
every day.
However, the convenience of using social me-
dia for your job search can have negative efects
too. If you can fnd jobs on those popular web-
sites, those jobs can also fnd you. Even if you
dont use social media to fnd your job, employ-
ers are still looking at your profles to see what
kind of person you are. If an employer searches
your name on Facebook and sees that your pro-
fle picture is you shirtless doing a keg stand out-
side Te Hawk, you might not get that second
interview, so it is important to keep your media
clean.
Edited by Katie Gilbaugh
Privacy
A lot of social media sites give you the option to make your profle private so that
only friends can view your photos and information.

Delete, Delete, Delete
Before you begin your job search, go through all of your media pages (includ-
ing that old Myspace page) and delete anything that would make your grandma
cringe.

Post With Caution
Now that you are entering the workforce, you have to hold yourself to a higher
standard when you post information. Tis means no more wild party pics or late
night Twitter rants, because you never know who is watching. Tink before you
post.

Watch the Company You Keep
According to the Stafng Resource Group (srg-us.com) employers are not just
looking at your profles, but they are looking at your friends profles, too. Weve
all heard the saying birds of a feather fock together, which basically means that
your friends are a refection of you. Make sure you are friending the right people.

Personal vs. Professional
If it is absolutely killing you to delete that keg stand picture, another option you
have is to keep a private personal profle and a public professional profle. Keep
your online personas split so that your followers are happy and your prospective
employers are happy.

When it comes to nailing your interview,
confdence is key. First impressions are every-
thing and ofen times picking out the perfect
interview outft can be stressful but it also
may be a deciding factor in whether or not you
are ofered a job.
However, dressing professionally does not
have to compromise your personal style. Dress
to impress from head to toe with these staple
interview items.

GIRLS:

A classic pencil skirt in neutral colors can be
easily paired with a variety of tops (blouses,
cardigans and blazers) so owning one is essen-
tial to any working womans wardrobe.When
it comes to accessories, make a statement with
colored pumps, smaller statement necklaces,
and a matching bag. Also keep an eye out for a
work appropriate LBD. Keep in mind modest
necklines and length, aiming for pieces that
hit below the knee. H&M has a large variety
of ofce apparel, including work-appropriate
dresses, jackets, skirts and shirts all ranging
from $15 to $25 dollars.
Tessa Magana, a senior from Overland Park,
hires people at her job and has seen both good
and bad interview outfts. Business casual is
great for interviews for both genders, and its
not too expensive. Stay away from jeans and
short dresses, and make sure to iron, Magana
said.
Keep your makeup simple and sophisticated
by opting for a more natural look. Give your
cheeks a sof blush, a swipe of mascara, and
use neutral earth toned eye shadows. Save the
smokey eye and brightly colored lips for a night
out, and keep the attention on your rocking
resume.
Allison Bingham, a junior from Blue Valley,
shared her go-to job interview style. I usu-
ally go for nice dress pants or a pencil skirt,
closed toed heels or fats, a button down shirt
or blouse, simple accent jewelry and natural
makeup, Bingham said.

GUYS:

Especially in these chilly winter months, there
are all kinds of options for guys dress clothing.
Retire that suit and tie, and opt for sweaters
over button up dress shirts in a variety of colors.
I recommend starting with the basics: red, grey,
royal blue and black. Tese can easily be paired
with dress pants, and made more formal with
the addition of ties in coordinating colors.
However, if your interview does require a suit,
make sure it is well ftting and tailored to your
body type. Stand out with a navy or charcoal
grey suit rather than traditional black.
Willis Luong, a sophomore from Blue Valley,
said it doesnt just involve what you are wear-
ing, but how well your clothing is maintained.
You can never go wrong wearing a polo or but-
ton up with khakis. But you have to make sure
you have them maintained no wrinkles or
stains. It shows that you know how to take care
of yourself and your interviewers will defnitely
take note.

Landing an interview is only step one of
getting a job. Mastering the interview is another
ball game.
Here are fve tips on how to own a job interview
and knock out those difcult questions with
ease.
Making a great rst impression
First impressions are extremely important in
the job market and you want to present yourself
with the right amount of confdence. When
walking into an interview, keeping your chin
up and having a smile on your face are both
signs of self confdence and strength. Introduce
yourself and make it a point to remember
the interviewers name as soon as they say it.
Addressing them by name and with a smile will
go a long way.
Act natural
Nerves can be in full gear leading up to and
throughout the interview. Stay calm; treat the
interview as more of a conversation rather
than a structured question and answer session.
Employers are not only looking for skills and
talent, but also what kind of person you are and
how you may ft into the workplace.
Pay attention
Make sure to look the interviewer in the eyes
to show you are listening and actively engaging
in the conversation. Pay careful attention to the
questions the interviewer is asking to ensure
you answer them fully and with certainty.

Dont over-prepare
Sure there are the typical questions that can be
prepared for that any employer would ask. For
example: Why do you think youre ft for our
company? What are some of your strengths?
What has led you up to this point in your career?
But, most of these questions could be answered
on the spot just as well as if youd prepared hours
before.
Carefully listening to the questions and being
relaxed will allow for you to answer them
truthfully and confdently.
Know what makes you stand out
When the difcult questions do come
along, dont panic. Refect on your talents
and accomplishments when preparing for an
interview. Getting a job is a competition; you are
up against other interviewees who are afer the
exact same thing. Know what to say when asked
what your best accomplishment is or what skills
or insight you may have that others dont. Talent
and experience are only part of getting hired.
Show employers your uniqueness and prove to
them why you are the best candidate.

Whats the hardest question youve been asked in an interview?
Allison James, junior, Abilene, Kan.
Thats tough, Id say the question when they ask what I see myself doing in ve
to 10 years.
Whitney Antwine, senior, Dallas, Texas
The hardest question for me in interviews is when they ask me what my biggest weak-
ness is, because its a trap. They want you to turn one of your weaknesses into a positive,
but most times people just freeze up.
Dietrich Jenkins, junior, Kansas City, Mo.
What are your views on censorship of the Internet?
Abby Hadel, junior, Lenexa, Kan.
One time I was asked What is the one thing that makes you stand out against the other
applicants? and I felt awkward because I dont want to seem cocky but you want to be
condent at the same time.

Internships help students not only get an inter-
view with future employers, but land the job be-
cause of their relevant work experience. Employ-
ers feel confdent in hiring those who have already
experienced and understand the real-world work-
force.
According to BusinessWeek.com, top compa-
nies ofen rely on their internship programs for as
much as 90 percent of their new college hires, so
an applicant without an internship is at a big dis-
advantage. And according a study conducted last
spring by the National Association of Colleges and
Employers, 63 percent [of students] with paid in-
ternships had landed jobs before graduation.
It is clear that internships that ofer hands-on
experience, whether paid or unpaid, can set you
apart from the rest. A paid internship may be ideal
but if these are hard to fnd in your industry, an
unpaid internship may still be able to ofer valu-
able networking opportunities.
Allison Kite, a sophomore from Overland Park,
found the most efcient way to search for intern-
ships is through University faculty. It was Wayne
Larson, former recruitment and retention coor-
dinator for the journalism school, who recom-
mended Kite to her to her current internship as
the communications intern for the University of
Kansas School of Business.
Wayne Larson recommended me to my current
boss Austin Falley because he thought I had the
skills necessary for the job, Kite said. He thought
that it would really beneft me in terms of getting
involved and getting that frst foot in the door on
an internship.
University professors are only one of many re-
sources for students. Resource centers across cam-
pus house books with contacts of alumni for stu-
dents to network with. If youre unsure where to
begin internship hunting, there are career advisors
ready to help students succeed.
Te resources and opportunities are there. Its up
to students to make the efort to go to the career
center, network with faculty and take advantage of
online tools. Te University values helping its stu-
dents succeed.

Internships allow for

Polished resumes help job applicants stand out
A handwritten effort
JOBS
PREPARATION

Tank-you notes are not just for holidays
and birthdays. Tank-you cards and follow-
up notes are a commonly missed part of the
job application process. While applicants in
search of a job frequently skip this simple
step, a quick note to your interviewer or
boss could make the diference between
getting the job and still being on the hunt.
In the world we live in, full of tweeting,
texting and Facebooking, a handwritten
note seems almost unheard of. Most would
think that an email would be sufcient in
order to express your gratitude. But how
much of a diference does the handwritten
efort really make?
Kelsey Ploeger, assistant director at the
University Career Center, said that sending
a thank-you note afer an interview demon-
strates that youre the type of person thats
willing to go the extra mile. It will show
youre a candidate who is conscientious and
professional and will ultimately allow you
to be set apart from the rest.
I am always an advocate of the handwrit-
ten thank you, Ploeger said.
If youre going to sit down and write a
thank-you note you should simply express
your gratitude. Tank the interviewer for
his or her time and the opportunity at hand.
Make it clear that youre excited about this
specifc job, not just getting a job in general.
Ten try referencing something that went
well with the interview. Draw upon a spe-
cifc conversation and try to tie that back
to what you can bring to the organization
if you were to receive the position you ap-
plied for.
While the handwritten gesture seems like
a stretch, you wont need more than three
to fve sentences. Keep it short and sweet.
It doesnt need to be too long that it
would be wordy, but not too short that it
would be impersonal, Ploeger said.
Ploeger said that the only time an email is
acceptable is if your interview takes place in
a room full of people or is for an interna-
tional job.
Hopefully youre grabbing a pen as you
leave your next job interview. It can mean
a handwritten diference.

While spring is a time of long-anticipated
warmth and relaxation for most, many college
students fnd themselves trapped in the throes of
summer internship and job-application deadline
stress.
Scary questions lurk in the back of many minds:
Will I ever fnd a job? Will any company take me
as an intern? While the future is never certain,
there are a few things you can do to make your
resume shine a bit brighter than everyone elses.

1. SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE As a college student,
employers realize you cant have much job expe-
rience. Even if you do have a couple of intern-
ships under your belt, you arent at any level of
professional expertise, so dont claim to be. In-
stead, subtly relay past accomplishments that
match the work youd be doing for your potential
employer. You then build relevant credibility and
avoid sounding arrogant.
2. YOU ARE AN ADVERTISER Your product is
you. Advertising professionals seek to creatively
answer this question: Why would someone buy
this product? Ask yourself, Why would some-
one hire me? Privately list your strengths, then
use your resume as a tool to detail how youve
embodied them in your past work experience.
Michael Garrett, a junior from Lenexa, agrees
that you have to detail your successes.
If I were to put executive director of the Big
Event, Id explain what it was and why its an
important accomplishment, rather than just the
title, Garrett said
3. EMBODY SOPHISTICATION ON PAPER Human
resources ofcers across the world see hundreds
of bland, black-and-white resumes a year. Teir
hearts lif just a little when they see that rare
resume with life. Dont be afraid to use color,
unique formatting or even graphics to express
your goals and work, especially if entering a cre-
ative feld. Dont go overboard; keep it sleek and
chic. Printrunner.com is a user-friendly, free re-
source for resume-formatting options impossible
on a Word document.
4. READ A DICTIONARY Most employers realize
writing isnt everyones forte, but if you use strong,
colorful, active verbs to describe your work histo-
ry and goals, theyll notice. Launched, delegat-
ed or superseded get second glances. Started,
worked or took over get forgotten. Bremner
Editing Center Coordinator Lisa McLendon said
the most common mistake she sees when edit-
ing students resumes is typos. She recommends
third-party editing.
My advice is to have another person look over
it, McLendon said. Youve read your resume a
hundred times, and you're so familiar with it at
that point that you just won't see mistakes any-
more. A fresh set of eyes will be a big help.
5. KNOW WHERE YOURE HEADED Spend time
soul-searching. Are you eager to enter your feld,
or just anticipating a big paycheck? Genuine pas-
sion for your future career makes job searching
exciting and natural rather than daunting and
tedious. If youre uneasy about the direction your
life is headed, step back and discover what makes
you happy.
FINAL PIECE OF ADVICE: McLendon said students
should aim to show rather than tell when
writing a resume.
Every resume is going to say the person is ded-
icated, hardworking and energetic, McLendon
said. Don't tell me you are these things show
me an example of something you did that will
make me think, Tis person is really dedicated
or Tis person has so much energy.
