Peer Advisors Polish Resumes, Build Confidence

Cynthia Agbemenu '24 knows how to take a resume from meh to mesmerizing.

Agbemenu, a peer advisor in the Arts & Sciences Career Development office, is a guiding hand for undergraduate students of all years in the College. From polishing first-year students' resumes from high school to helping seniors nail down their full-time job opportunities, Agbemenu said she's glad to be able to share some of the wisdom that helped her. The peer advisor program recently resumed in the office, after a break during COVID.

Agbemenu said Arts & Sciences Career Development offered her invaluable guidance and support. Whether it was refining her resume, learning about Cornell's Pre-Professional Program (P3) or preparing to consider a full-time job offer.

"Whether it's helping frame a high school resume or polishing it into a college one, I enjoy ensuring students get the most benefit from coming in and asking questions," she said.
