How To Drop Off Your Resume
Ideally, to make the best impression possible, you should personally meet with employers during the Career Conference. However, if you don't have enough time to visit all the employers you want or can't attend the Career Conference for whatever reason, then drop your resume off with an employer before the conference.
Here is how to do it:
- Log into your Stout CareerLink account and then select the “Career Events” tab.
- Click on Career Fair, search, and then the day for your major.
- Click on “View Employers Attending” and then select your major by adding/removing.
- Click on the employer name and then “Drop Resume”
- Select the resume you want to use from “Documents”
- Copy and paste your cover letter in the “Message” section indicating you unfortunately will or were not able to meet them in person and are requesting an interview.
IMPORTANT: If the employer is interested in you, you will be contacted for an interview. However, if you have not heard from the employer within a week after the conference, you may want to contact them again to let them know you are still interested.
Be sure to keep a copy the employers contact information for this purpose.
