Career Development
Professional development elements (e.g., resumé writing, oral presentation skills, etc.) may be incorporated into Junior Year Writing as a way to add value to the course and give students an opportunity to plan ahead for their careers.
The UMass Amherst Career Services office can be an important resource for this part of your curriculum. You can contact the advisor appropriate to your college to give a short presentation within the class period on these subjects, or you can send your students to any one of our career events . In any case, you and your students should know that all students are welcome to bring a resumé, cover letter, or career concern to see the advisor-on-duty on a walk-in basis any weekday between noon and 4:00 pm in 511 Goodell.
You're also welcome to download the following Career Services documents (PDF) that contain resumé and cover letter tips and resumé examples.
