1. After uploading your resume, you will receive line-by-line feedback and an aggregate resume score (strive for 85+) to assess the strength of your resume benchmarked against your own GSU peer group.

2. After receiving your initial score, select “View Detailed Feedback” on the right side of the webpage for line-by-line suggestions.
3. Select “System Feedback” on the right side of the webpage to see your resume from the recruiter perspective.
4. Select “Bullet Level Feedback” to delve even deeper into the content and structure of your resume.
5. Use the feedback gained from VMock to make updates to your resume.

Use Handshake, Georgia State’s job board. You can search for full-time, part-time, internships, and co-ops. You can also prepare to apply by working on your resume using VMock and researching job options using the What Can I Do With This Major?, the online search tool. Look at O*Net, the Department of Labor’s report on jobs and the future of industries, to see which jobs are predicted to grow in demand. And work your network! Let people know you are looking for opportunities.

Include on your resume the transferable skills you’ve acquired from your classes, projects, organizational involvement and leadership experiences. For example, if you were part of a volunteer activity, you learned about teamwork and communication. If you’ve practiced workplace skills in your classes (like data collection using Tableau, etc.), list them on your resume. Log into Handshake for a virtual drop-in or to request a career counseling appointment.

Every department that offers credit for an internship has different requirements and procedures. Get in touch with your department to learn about them. Remember to give yourself time to do everything needed in advance of the actual experience.

Look at the entire compensation packages — for example, you might get a higher salary but might need to live in a very expensive area, or perhaps you don’t have as much vacation time —and think about the best option for you. Consider the entire package, the working circumstances and if there are options for your long-term goals.
