This project was initiated in response to the need for accessible student resume examples that are industry specific. The creators are a group of career educators who collaborated with subject matter experts and human resources professionals across a variety of sectors to validate these resumes. The content will be continuously updated to reflect current labour market trends and sector needs.
Biggest Challenges Students Face When Creating Application Documents
Starting a resume or cover letter can feel overwhelming, especially when you dont know what employers actually want. Based on the findings from a student focus group, here are the three key challenges students face:
- How to make application documents stand out to HR/recruiters without deviating from the norm.
- How to start a cover letter.
- How to write accomplishment statements well (without being vague or leaving necessary details).
The resume catalogue is designed to help you solve all these challenges by breaking down resume and cover letter writing into simple, actionable steps with numerous sector-specific student resume examples.
