Craft a resumé that gets noticed
Get a head start on getting hired with a great resumé — and some pro tips from Career Advancement Services:
- Get on My Career Hub — not only will you find an inventory of job opportunities, but there's also a resumé builder template that can help kick things off.
- Follow companies you're interested in on social media. Both job postings and social content are full of keywords and hints on what to highlight on your resumé.
- Get involved and get skills — skills you can include on your resumé, skills your next boss wants in an employee. Check out co-curricular opportunities, student clubs and industry events to get started.
- No formal work experience? Talk about current/past school projects on your resumé — things like capstone projects and practicum experience.
- Clean up your digital act. 98% of companies use LinkedIn for recruiting. While it's good to show a bit of personality, make sure you don't post anything inappropriate that would give a company a reason not to hire you.
- Remember, always tailor your resumé and cover letter to the position you're applying for.

Strategic plan
Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
