Resume Challenge
An exceptional resume is key to the professional realm; submit yours for a chance to win a bookstore goodie bag and more!
The Career and Community Engagement Center is proud to announce the start of the 5th Annual Resume Challenge: a student contest where students submit their resume to a panel of judges and an exceptional resume is selected for each class year. This year's Resume Challenge will run from Thursday, April 11 to Tuesday, April 23.
Selected students win a swag bag of bookstore goodies and apparel plus a feature on CCEC social media! Winning resumes are also immortalized as an example for others to reference! (Personal information is removed before sharing.)
During the challenge, you can participate by creating/improving your resume using these resources and having a conversation with our Student Career Advisors. You can schedule an appointment over Handshake or pop in to their drop-in hours.
Resumes will be reviewed by a panel of professionals representing various industries. Resumes are judged based on three categories: organization & formatting, content & clarity, and holistic feel & representation.
See Submission Requirements for complete submission guidelines.
