RESUMES
One of your first deliverables as a Yale SOM student is your resume. Your resume is a key tool to highlight your skills and experiences to employers and alumni as you launch your career search.
- Prepare your resume using the Yale SOM Template (also available in vMock)
- The first week of June, you will receive an invitation email to Vmock, our online resume guidance tool which will examine formatting, grammar and spelling
- Upload your resume to Vmock in the Yale SOM Template
- Our goal for the summer is to achieve a score of 88+ by your program due date to be included in our review process
SUMMER EXPLORATION
Summer is, for most incoming students, a less busy period than the fall. We encourage you to take this time to explore different industry and function interests.
As a starting place, review Resources in our industry communities including:
