Award-Winning OptimalResume Now Offered at Monroe Community College


We are proud to offer students at Monroe Community College access to OptimalResume, the gold standard in online resume technology.  Used by hundreds of universities across the country and across the globe, OptimalResume guides students in the resume process from content creation to online publication.

Students can draft their resume in just a few short minutes with this easy and comprehensive software, which includes instructions and examples customized for our programs.  There is help for each resume section and even a career exploration component, all available on a 24/7 basis.  Once a resume has been composed and formatted, it is immediately generated in four formats: Rich Text, .PDF, Plain Text, and HTML (an interactive resume website).  Students can also style their private resume website and share the URL with employers.  Counselors often remark that the quality of the first draft is far better with OptimalResume. 

Once a resume has been created and filled with content, they can pick from hundreds of thousands of different combinations of resume styles to find the right look.  It’s never been so easy to create an attractive and professional resume presentation.  The website is at <<https://www.monroecc.edu/go/resume>>

Please encourage your students to use this new service as they prepare to search for employment and ready themselves for their next phase of life.  Faculty and staff also have access to OptimalResume and may use all the tools available to students except for the Career Counselor resume review & critique.  Your Monroe Community College email as your username provides you access to OptimalResume.

If MCC faculty or staff have any questions regarding this service or are interested in a future workshop for one of your classes on this tool, please contact Sherry Sweet at ext 2369.
