The JIBC Writing Centre does NOT provide résumé-writing assistance or job-hunting advice, as this is the role of a Career Advisor. However, this Guide is intended to help students find resources on how to write a résumé, how to prepare for a job interview, and other career-related information.
Students who wish to seek career advice should speak to the Program Lead in their area of study.
