The Ivan Allen College Presents a Twitter chat for students and alumni on "Marketing Yourself to Employers and Graduate Schools." You ask. Alums answer. Don't miss this opportunity! #IACcareerchat @GTLiberalArts Thursday April 16 at 10AM.

Yes… and no.

But, that’s neither here nor there, a resume is still the universal job search document and thus necessary for any job search.


Tips included in this article include:


-Less is More
-Quantify
-Show Your Value

Job Search Materials Assistance

Posted by Admin On 10:23:00 AM 0 comments
Please let Susan Belmonte, Pre-Teaching Advisor, help you in your job hunt. Resume building and revision, mock interviews, and protocol are all important. A poorly organized resume can mean your resume goes in the “no” pile, and you lose a chance at even getting an interview. Layout, font size and choice, wording, spacing, etc. all play important parts in how the reader perceives you as a potential employee. The resume is your first impression along with a cover letter.

Susan can also contact HR reps in many counties as well. All applicants still must apply through the each system’s online portal or through www.teachgeorgia.org (depending upon the system).
