Résumé Guide
Abilene Christian University College of Business Administration
Connections: Career and Academic Advising
The purpose of a résumé is not to get a job, but to get an interview with the employer. Employers generally look at résumés for only 30-40 seconds: so make an impression! The key to having a strong résumé is to highlight those areas of your background that best demonstrate your abilities as they relate to the position or opportunity for which you are applying.” ~University of Missouri, Career Center
