Your resume must be critiqued by a Toppel Career Advisor to participate in
On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) and
Job Listings (CaneZONE). We also highly recommend a critique if you
are going to attend Career Expos/Fairs.
- Register for CaneZONE
- Complete registration data on CaneZONE
- Upload a resume on CaneZONE
Once you upload your resume, it will automatically be forwarded to a career advisor
to be critiqued. Your resume will be emailed to you with suggested changes within
3-5 business days. Once you receive your critique, make the suggested changes as
soon as possible and re-upload the resume so that the corrected resume will be in
our database. Once approved, you will be able to forward your resume to sign up
for interviews schedules, internship listings and job listings. You can also come
in for walk-in advising (Monday through Thursday, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm) or schedule
an advising appointment.
