Document Summary
As a freshman, resumes should be about 1 page long. This length may increase as relevant skills, work experience, etc are obtained. Ex) comic sans is a bad font. Keep it classic - times new roman, arial, etc. If submitting an online resume, submit a pdf. Does not need to be on special paper, just neat. Have people from all different department review your resume to get fresh perspectives. Power points can be a tool or a crutch. Keep slides simple - ask does this help me make my point? . Avoid hard to read fonts and colors. More words does not always equal more information. Takeaway - keep it simple, legible and professional. Use a professional email (such as your school/uconn email address) Keep emails short and straight to the point. Remember emails leave a paper trail; they will never be deleted; they can always be traced back to you; be careful with what you say.
