Resources

School of Management Career Services has a number of resources available to SOM students to help them on their path to a career.

Here are just some of the ways our office can help: 

  • Résumé and cover letter templates

    Your résumé is the first tool for letting an employer know you're interested in a job. Without it, you can't apply, and without a great résumé, you will get passed over for the position. Our office has samples you can reference to ensure your résumé and cover letter follow SOM guidelines.

  • Elevator pitch

    Your elevator pitch is a tool for introducing yourself at career fairs, networking opportunities and during the "tell me about yourself" question of an interview. It should be able to answer these questions:

    • Who am I?
    • What can I offer?
    • Why am I here?
    • What do I hope happens in the future?
  • Mock interview

    Mock interviews are an opportunity for students to practice and strengthen their interview skills as well as receive constructive feedback. Schedule a mock interview with a Career Assistant or with a Career Counselor .

  • HireBING

    HireBING (powered by HandShake) connects students, alumni and employers for jobs and internships. Use hireBING to post your resume, search for jobs and internships, and participate in upcoming interview/recruitment events. Learn more about hireBING.

  • SOM Career Services Student Resource Drive

    School of Management students have exclusive Google Drive access to our Student Resource Drive. The drive includes many invaluable and up-to-date resources, including résumé templates, professional development guides, news regarding upcoming important events, jobs/internship postings and more!
