Job Search
How do I find suitable job openings in my career field?
Understanding the job market, seeing what’s out there, and finding jobs that match your talents and personality—those efforts take time and patience. Let us help you find the right fit for your future. As a UMass Boston student, you have access to a wealth of resources.

How can I improve my resumé-writing and interviewing skills?
Statistics show that employers spend less than 10 seconds scanning a resumé, so the format and style should showcase your most important credentials at a glance.
Once you land the interview (whether face-to-face or "virtual"), making a good impression takes poise, skill, and know-how.
Let us help you put your best foot forward. Call Career Services (617.287.5519) to make an appointment with a career specialist for advice and coaching on resumé, cover letter, and interview preparation.
Also check out the Career Services Resume Handbook for useful resume-writing tips and examples. It is available in Career Services or online.
