University of Michigan - Flint

As UM-Flint students and alumni, the Academic Advising & Career Center (AACC) offers great services to get you prepared to land your dream job. No matter what field you're going into, you need a knockout resume and cover letter to separate you from everyone else. You also need to get your name and resume out on the market. We recommend completing each of the three steps below in sequence:

ResumeMaker is much more than a computer program that assists with resume creation! ResumeMaker offers over 1,000 industry-specific resume samples, provides 150,000 action words and sample phrases, contains a Virtual Interview feature with the top 25 questions asked in interviews, has a Salary Search feature which calculates salary for different occupations and geographic areas, and much more! Already have a resume? Import your resume into ResumeMaker and take advantage of its features. Self-register and begin using ResumeMaker today!

Already have a resume and cover letter but want a good pair of eyes to look it over for you? Academic advisors/counselors in AACC will do just that! We'll make sure your resume accurately portrays you and your skills, objectives, goals, and accomplishments AND is ready to land you the job you're after. To have your resume critiqued, either stop by AACC (285 University Pavilion) and drop it off, or e-mail it. You can also setup an appointment to review your resume and discuss your career objectives with an academic advisor/counselor. Please allow 3-5 days for resume critique.  

Step 3: UM-Flint Career Connection

Once you've got your knockout resume in hand and you're ready to begin marketing yourself, sign up for UM-Flint Career Connection- AACC's official job, co-op and internship posting network AND web-based resume referral system. When employers post jobs with UM-Flint, the postings go directly into Career Connection. You can then search what's on the network, submit your resume and apply for positions. From the other end, employers searching Career Connection for qualified candidates for their openings may contact you with potential offers. Academic advisors/counselors also refer resumes to employers seeking candidates.
