As with many innovations, a long-time need, coupled with a chance discovery, set the stage for change. Throw into the mix a staff member (me!) with an interest in, and some experience with, online education and what do you get? An online resume course, of course!

In the past, our Department, Co-operative Education & Career Services, has attempted to assist these students through advance resume tips brochures and early face-to-face seminars. However both were lacking from a personal attention and timing perspective.
