How to use Vmock

1. Log in to Vmock using your UW Oshkosh email address and create a profile.
2. Upload a PDF of your resume.
3. Use the feedback gained from Vmock to make updates to your document. You may upload your resume up to 10 times an academic year to perfect your document.
4. If after you’ve gotten feedback from Vmock and would like to talk with a career advisor more in-depth about improvements you may call Career & Professional Development or self-schedule an appointment on Handshake.
5. Once your resume is in a place you find satisfactory we recommend uploading your resume to Handshake and making it a public document. We also encourage you to update your Handshake profile. An updated profile and a public resume give your Handshake account the most opportunity to be viewed by employers seeking to fill internships and jobs.
