Updating and Submitting your Resume for On-Campus Recruiting
You may browse through the On-Campus Recruiting opportunities listed in your account at any time, but to apply you will need to upload your resume and other documents (cover letters, transcripts, writing samples, etc.) that the employer requires. Documents may be word processing documents (such as Microsoft Word) or PDFs. The former is recommended since PDF documents occasionally encounter difficulties.
If you upload more than one resume, be sure to designate a general resume as your default resume. If you are interested in several fields, say Investment Banking, Software Development, and Consulting, create a default resume that would function well for all three fields. Your default resume is the resume that the Career Center and employers download for Resume Books.
- Once you have uploaded your resume, you may want to view the PDF version of your resume to ensure that it looks right.
- "Delete" will completely remove your resume from the website.
How to upload your resume:
- Log into your J-Connect account.
- Click "Documents: tab at the top of the screen.
- Click on the "Add New" button.
- On the following page in the "Label" field, give your resume a descriptive name (for example, "First Name, Last Name Date Banking").
- Select the document type.
- Click on "Browse" to find your resume on your hard drive or on a disk and then double-click on the file to be uploaded.
