OptimalResume

Rather than use one of the generic templates from Microsoft Word, we encourage you to use OptimalResume, which features the following benefits:

  • 100% customized for Kelley Indianapolis students and alumni
  • Easily choose from dozens of professional resume formats
  • Create Word, PDF, and plain text versions of your website (all downloadable at the click of a button)
  • Design an interactive online resume with a unique URL (an excellent networking tool)
  • Submit your resume for review by the CPO

Helpful Hints:

  • Rather than upload an existing resume, create a new resume and cut and paste from your existing document.
  • Once you have completed the content of your resume, be sure to select the resume and then style it.
  • After you have downloaded your resume to Microsoft Word, open the file and review the formatting. You may want to make minor changes in spacing and text size before sending out your resume.
