- #7 Two of your Career Toolkits give you step-by-step instructions on how to create a winning resume and cover letter. Make sure you go through the cover letter and resume toolkits to help with your Comm202 assignments.
- #8 Want immediate feedback on your resume? Upload it now to vmock.com/sauder. VMock analyzes your resume on the spot, gives you a score, and enables you to get customized, line-by-line feedback. It’s known as a “content checker” – it will especially help with RATs statements and giving you tips to enhance your bullet points on your resume. Keep in mind: -VMock is picky with formatting! Follow the formatting as laid out in the resume toolkit and template to use in VMock -Do not simply put your resume in VMock and then take that as all the work you need to do for the assignment, or for applying to a job! - Your VMock score is NOT your Comm202 resume grade. Use VMock as a guide to improve your resume, but after using the platform, ensure you follow the parameters of the assignment as your compass for your grade. Example: VMock may not catch every spelling error, so you need to make sure you check this on your own. Tips to help you get started: - Go to www.VMock.com/sauder and login with your CWL and password. Upload your resume in PDF You have 10 free uploads each academic year – use them wisely! They will be set in August or September of each year while you’re a student. Get a score of 75 or above to get further resume coaching from a BCom career coach. Questions? Ask a coach or Peer Advisor.
