• How and why it’s important to insert some personality into your resume
• What work experiences to include and which ones you can leave off your resume
• How to get help improving your resume
• What goes in a cover letter, and why you really DO have to write one
• Where and how to address resume gaps, bad grades, and other common hiccups
