Whether you're applying for an internship, part-time job, or full-time career, these resources will help you put your best foot forward.

Why it Matters

Your application is often your first impression with an employer. Taking the time to customize your résumé, write a thoughtful cover letter when appropriate, and submit complete, accurate applications can help you stand out from other candidates.

The goal isn't to apply for the most jobs. It's to submit high-quality applications that clearly demonstrate why you're a strong fit for the position.

Every job application should be tailored to the position. Before you apply, carefully review the job description and highlight the skills, experiences, and keywords the employer values most. Then make sure your résumé and application clearly demonstrate those qualifications.
