Resume Development
Your resume is one of the most important tools in your job search. Whether you’re creating your first resume or updating one as an experienced professional, our team can help you highlight the knowledge, skills, and abilities most relevant to your next opportunity.
Start with the Bauer Resume Format
Use the appropriate template for your program.
The Bauer Resume format is based on feedback from our Employer Advisory Board and reflects current employer hiring preferences.
The Bauer Resume templates are available in Microsoft Word format, allowing students to easily add their information without worrying about formatting details.
Why This Format Works
Recruiting experts recommend resumes that are:
-
Single-column layouts
-
Easy to scan
-
Free of graphics, tables, and text boxes
-
Written in a professional, readable font
The Bauer Resume templates follow these best practices and are designed to meet current employer expectations.
Resume Length
Keep your resume to one page until you have approximately 10 years of relevant professional experience. Our career counselors can help you determine what content to include or remove to meet that length requirement.
Improve Your Resume
Revise based on the recommendations.
Complete your resume using the Bauer template.
Upload it to Bauer’s VMock website. VMock will scan your resume and provide detailed feedback on formatting and presentation.
Additional Resume Resources
Alternate Resume Sections – Transfer education, specialty programs, promotions, and advancement within a company.
Resume Action Verbs – Keywords related to creative, financial, management, technical, helping, and other skill areas.

Submit to Bauer Career Gateway
Once your resume is polished and ready for employers, upload it to Bauer Career Gateway.
Bauer Career Gateway is accessible by current Bauer students through AccessUH. Bauer students and alumni can also access Gateway using the buttons at the top of this website.
We strongly recommend uploading your resume in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx).
New submissions are reviewed by a career counselor and may take up to 2 business days for approval, so plan ahead when applying for internships and jobs.
