Assume you are applying for a job that was identified in the "Quick Profile" under the "Industries that Most Match your Interests". You will also find specific careers listed under "A few popular career choices for people with similar Quick Profile".If you are already in the career field of choice, then identify a career that you would also consider under "Additional areas in which you might consider a job or internship".

You will need to customize your resume and cover letter to one specific career that you find interesting. For a specific job, use the "Getting the Job" tab and select "Job Postings" for a listing in your area. Submit your resume and cover letter to be reviewed by your instructor.
