2. INFORM

Inform your student on the importance of writing a resume.

• An academic resume is a marketing tool that is likely to be evaluated in less than 20 seconds; therefore, you want to make sure your student's resume is concise, easy to read and attractive. Encourage your student to attend MNTC's Career and College Connection resume building Steps to Success workshop. In this workshop, students build a resume on the resume builder that is competitive, effective and sure to get them noticed.  Additionally, students learn to upload their certifications, awards, and work examples to their electronic portfolios - Portfolios that can win them a $500, $300, or $200 SCHOLARSHIP in April!
• Career and College Connection offers resume critiques and we highly recommend that the final product be critiqued by one of our team's professional consultants.
