January 4th, 2016

Attention:  BUSPH Students

The BUSPH Annual Career Fair will be held this year on Feb. 25th from 2-6 PM in the Hiebert Lounge.  Don’t miss this opportunity to meet employers from a wide variety of public health organizations.  Prior to this event, we are excited to be offering you another way to get your resume seen by employers-the “Career Fair 2016 Resume Book”.  To be included in this resume book, your resume must be approved by the Career Services Office by Feb. 19th.  We hope your resume will be included in this on-line publication for participating employers to view!

Here is the process to get your resume approved and included in the Career Fair 2016 Resume Book:

  • Watch the presentation (LINKED BELOW) on formatting your current resume into the template that is being used for the resume book. Go to “Slide Show,” then “Play from the start” in the toolbar to hear audio.
  • Email your resume to sphcareeroffice@bu.edu by Jan. 4th. Use the subject line “2016 Resume Book”.  Please send resume in a Word document (no PDF’s).  Formatting tips:  Your resume should be no longer than 2 pages.
  • Resumes will be returned to students with feedback by January 18th.

Resumes requiring further review/revisions will receive additional feedback via email between Jan. 19th and Feb. 10th. In some cases, we may suggest attending a drop in session or making an appointment with the Career Office to discuss any changes.

  • Once approved, instructions to upload resume to the Career Fair 2016 Resume book will be sent by Feb. 19th.
