Resumes & Cover Letters

Your resume and cover letter are the first impression you make on employers. They should demonstrate your personal brand—who you are as an employee and what skills and qualifications you have.

Interviewing

A job or internship interview is your chance to further convince an employer that you would be a valuable asset to the organization. Interviewing is a two-way street—a mutual exchange of information to determine whether values and goals align between you and the employer for your current pursuits.

Consider scheduling a mock interview appointment with our center to become fully prepared!

Internships

Internship experiences benefit Suffolk students by applying skills and concepts learned in the classroom to a real-world situation. Internships are time-limited experiences, which students can do during a semester or their summer or winter break. The structure and duties of an internship vary by industry and organization, where internships can be full-time, part-time, paid, or unpaid.
