Resume Development with Rachel Snyder
The Isenberg Resume Format may look a little different than what you’re used to, but we’ve got resources to help you get started!
As recruiters have shifted to a skills-based hiring, we’ve had to shift how we structure our resumes. Join Rachel Snyder, Director of Graduate Career Development, as she discusses more in-depth about emerging industry and hiring trends in 2026, how to align your job search strategy for success, and how to craft a resume that will help you find better success in your job search!
CHECK IT OUT
Alaina Kendrick, Associate Director of Graduate Career Development, has created a 15-point job search checklist to help you stay organized on your search! Keep in mind, you can apply these points for internship searches, as well.
Read through each point to see where you feel strong or where you need more help. Start creating a plan so when you join us in the Fall, we can help you build on it!
COACHING TIPS OF THE WEEK
Informal conversations often shape hiring decisions long before formal interviews begin. Treat all professional chats as a chance to sell yourself. Every interaction is a data point, so be sure to leave a positive impression that will enhance your professional reputation!
Don’t forget to keep your network updated on your career progress! If you get an interview or an offer, let them know and thank them for their support. Communication will open up more conversations and connections for you!
