We offer many resources to help you make the BEST impression with employers. Whether you need to polish up your resume, research employers or practice your interviewing skills, we have a resource to meet your needs.
Please note that students are required to achieve a score of 85 on their resume in the VMock system in order to have that resume approved for usage in the GatorHIRED system. While walk-ins for resume discussions are permitted, we generally don't allow for appointments related to resume review until the student has utilized the VMock system.
To master using the VMock system to create your resume, review the document below:
