Peer Advice for a Successful Search

"Send your resume to multiple people for their advice - this includes CPAs, your peers, recent graduates, more experienced alums and so on. It is not uncommon to have dozens of drafts before coming up with a great resume. Remember to use a variety of action verbs and quantify the results of your contributions."
