Submitting your Microsoft Word resume(s) online for the Resume Referral Service enables registered employers to view your resume(s) from the CDC website. Employers search for resumes by criteria you indicate in your student profile, e.g. major, job/internship target. Step 1. Complete a Resume & Information Release Form In order to release your resume(s) to employers you must first complete, sign, and return the Resume & Information Release Form to the CDC, GC 306. An original signed form is required. Access to Resume Referral will not be granted without a signed form (no faxed or photocopied signatures can be accepted). Please allow 1-2 business days for the processing of your request. Step 2. Log in to ORCA
Step 3. Complete Your Student Profile
Step 4. Submit your Microsoft Word Resume(s) Online
Step 5. To Delete a Resume You may delete a resume at any time. Under the heading "Functions" simply click on the delete button. If you delete a default resume be sure to make another one your default. Step 6. Making Changes to or Updating Your Resume We do not recommend making changes to your resume directly in ORCA. Make any changes to your resume in Word. You can then replace the resume in ORCA with the updated version. To do so, delete the resume you wish to replace in ORCA (follow instructions in Step 5) and replace it with the new version (follow instructions in Step 4). Step 7. To Change your Default Resume Under the heading "Default Resume," click on the "N" to change it to "Y". This will change your default resume. NOTES: The CDC staff recommends having your resume critiqued by one of our career counselors before you submit it to ORCA. Keep your PERSONAL PROFILE and RESUME(S) updated - especially your address, phone, email and search criteria! If you should become employed and/or desire to have your resume no longer made available to employers, please uncheck the box in your personal profile that says, "Allow employers to search my default resume." This ensures no confusion on the part of our employers in thinking that you are job searching when you are not. You can also create and upload cover letters to use when applying to jobs in ORCA. On August 31 of each year, we will be deactivating all resumes in orca to ensure the accuracy of resumes for employers.In order to reactivate your resume(s), simply log into ORCA after August 31, click on the box that says "Allow Employers to search my default resume" in your personal profile, and add your resume(s) to the appropriate resume book(s). |
