Wednesday, December 6,1995 Career Center ADim SNYDER Staff Writer As winter commencement approaches, seniors should have their resume ready to use as a tool to get their first job. Entering the job market immediately after graduation requires preparation, and prepa ration begins from the start of your college career. According to Mike Hix, director of career planning at the Career Center, students should begin work on their resume early. It should be "growing, developing, and changing during the college experience" just as the student has. From this growth, the resume serves as a "marketing tool" to introduce oneself to employers. "A resume communicates to the potential employer the kind of position a student is seeking.
