Resumes
Online Resume Help
The Career Services Center provides services for faculty, staff, students, and alumni of WWU only.
Email your resume to careers@wwu.edu with "Resume Review" in the subject line and we will have someone look at your resume and send it back to you with feedback. Please also send the job posting or description that you are applying to if you have it. This will help us, help you, tailor your resume.
Developing a polished and clearly focused resume is your first step towards gaining employment. Ensure that your resume will win you an interview by attending one of our workshops, or schedule a meeting with a peer advisor or counselor.
Remember that a resume is not a substitute for effective marketing and interviewing. While the resume is your primary marketing tool, it alone does not result in a job offer. The purpose of the resume is to get your foot in the door and allow for dialogue and consideration by an interested employer.
Skills First
WWU Career Services offers a resume builder tool called SkillsFirst with content tailored to our WWU majors.
You can browse sample resumes for a wide range of occupations—and choose from a variety of templates for your own resume. There is also a key words generator tool that helps tailor your resume for specific jobs!
