What is a Resume Book?
Resume Books are a common strategy employers use to access job seekers who match key qualifications they are looking for in a specific job or internship opening. They also allow students to get their resume in front of employers they may not have had access to just through a job posting.
Undergraduate and graduate students will have the opportunity to be included in one of the following Resume Books that aligns with their program of study:
* STEM – Bourns College of Engineering/College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences (Undergrad)
* STEM - Bourns College of Engineering/College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences (Master’s & PhD)
* College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences/School of Public Policy/Graduate School of Education (Undergrad)
* College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences/School of Public Policy/Graduate School of Education (Master’s & PhD)
* School of Business/A. Gary Anderson School of Management (Undergrad/Master’s)
Why should I opt-in to a Resume Book?
>> Reason #1: Save Time
Let us help you market your skills to employers on your behalf.
>> Reason #2: Increase your Access
Get access to employers who may not be able to physically recruit at UCR, but are interested in connecting with you.
>> Reason #3: Eliminate Unconscious Bias
Open up doors to be considered for all positions you qualify for as opposed to being hindered by unconscious bias.
>>Reason #4: Keep with the Trends
Engage with employers who are moving towards digital sourcing methods and need to make hiring decisions quickly.
Don't wait to get started! Deadline to apply is Wednesday, August 26.
