In addition to the resume comments above, let me suggest that all students create a profile on LinkedIn. With sucha profile, you can mirror the key attributes of your resume. There are a huge number of Michigan alums on the site and they will provide you with valuable network contacts, both domestically and internationally. LinkedIn is the professional/career analogue to facebook and it will make you searchable by employers. I’ve actually received a number of queries and one job by people finding me, not the converse. Note that I have zero connection, financial or otherwise, to LinkedIn.
