If you’re an HTM student struggling to write a resume for an entry-level position, here’s how to craft your story so that your experience, education, character, and soft skills can emerge through a one-to two-page resume.

How does a single technician help foster a culture of quality without pointing fingers or making unpleasant waves?

You have finished a job interview, feel you’ve done well and are anxiously awaiting an offer. And then you get the call/email/text/letter saying you haven’t been hired.

The question many students have: Should I take the first job offer that comes along – even if it isn’t exactly what I’m looking for? Here, career experts weigh in with their advice.
