Upload your resume
Most of the recruiters who visit PSE utilize a resume portal developed specifically for PSE students and postdocs. This portal allows you to upload a pdf of your resume to a secure server where the recruiter is given permission to access them. If you are preparing to interview this year, below you will find a few bullet points related to recruiting and the PSE resume portal.
- Do I need approval to interview? Everyone must receive approval to interview from their advisor (current standard practice). This approval should be emailed to @email. If you received approval last year, no new approvals are required. Resumes can be uploaded prior to receiving approval.
- Who has access? This is a tool for anyone who is part of Polymer Science & Engineering. If you are from Physics, Chemical Engineering or Chemistry, please send a PDF of your resume to Marie Wallace, Katie Bryant or Rebecca David.
- What is the address for the PSE Resume Portal? https://iw.pse.umass.edu/cv
- How do I log in? Enter your PSE identity and password (PSE email credentials)
- What about PSE Postdocs and visitors who don’t have a PSE identity? With permission from a PSE advisor, we can manually add the resume to the database. (Contact Lisa Groth)
- When a resume is uploaded can the student determine which recruiter will see the resume? Yes, students can control who receives the resume.
- Who manages the web page? The PSE Job Search Page is managed by PSE
- What type of file should be uploaded? The resume should be in pdf format and have your name in the title of the file. For example: “student name_resume_company.pdf” If you have multiple documents, they need to be merged into one pdf document prior to uploading the file
- How does the recruiter receive this information? The recruiter will be given access to a dashboard that will list the person’s name, advisor, entering year and the file from the student.
- Can students attend information sessions even though they’re not ready to graduate? Absolutely students/postdocs can attend. By attending you will learn about the company and what it’s like working in that industry.
