Purposeful and Transparent Part of the job search process is to put together an effective resume that gives the prospective employer your work history and qualifications for their business. Contextual Students will actually create their resume in preparation for a prospective job and also develop cover and follow-up letters to complete the process. Building Expertise Students may know about resumes, but understanding about their personal circumstances and the types of resumes will help them determine exactly what kind of resume is best for their situation.
