Career Fair Prep Workshop

Resume Books

Students and postdocs will have the opportunity to upload their resumes prior to the career fair, and these will be shared with all employers a few days prior to the in-person career fair. This provides employers with the opportunity to reach out to students/postdocs directly if they choose to do so.

This is an extra opportunity, and does not take the place of applying for specific positions at organizations that you are interested in. Resumes uploaded for the resume books will be viewed by any employer that has registered for this event.

To upload your resume, please select the link below that reflects your degree/academic status at Penn, and your interest in full-time or internship opportunities. Please consider using some of the resume resources provided below to ensure that your resume reflects the relevant skills, experience, or knowledge you can bring to the employers at this event.

Alumni: If you are a Penn alum/alumna, please choose the category that reflects the degree you received from Penn or your most recent degree status (e.g., if you are a Penn undergraduate alum with a PhD from another institution, you can choose the PhD/postdoc option)

Best practices:

  • Review some of the resume resources below before submitting your resume in order to maximize the impact of your resume
  • Upload a PDF version of your resume – and use your name as the file name (e.g., Joseph Barber resume)
  • If you are a PhD/postdoc, a 1-3 page resume will be more effective than a longer academic CV
  • Keep your preferred employer audience in mind as you create a general version of your resume. You will have the option to add to add some descriptive keywords about your skills and interests when you upload your resume to the box file (e.g., Neuroscience PhD student with strong interest in life science consulting)

Here are some general resume resources:
