How to Use VMock

Now What?

1. If after you’ve gotten feedback from Vmock and would like to talk with a career advisor more in-depth about improvements call Career & Professional Development or self-schedule an appointment on Handshake.
2. Once your resume is in a place you find satisfactory, we recommend uploading your resume to Handshake and making it visible. We also encourage you to update your Handshake profile. An updated profile and a visible resume give your Handshake account the most opportunity to be viewed by employers seeking to fill internships and jobs.
