brainstorming or final polishing, the Career Center can help.

Some Opening Words To Remember: A Résumé Is A Summary
It is not intended to be an autobiography relating everything you
have ever done, but rather a one-page summary for potential employers,
highlighting your education, experience, and other qualifications relevant
to your job search. Its primary purpose is to get you an interview
so that you have an opportunity to sell yourself in person. Nothing
more.
