Resume Advice & Writing



A resume is the single most important document you need to make a great first impression to potential employers. It’s imperative that your resume is well written, formatted correctly and is free of grammatical errors. Scoutz wants your resume to stand out from the other applicants, highlight your skill-sets, strengths, achievements and most importantly, give the potential employer a reason to want to meet with you in person.

Interviewing Skills & Mock Interviews



For most young professionals entering the workforce, the interviewing process can be terrifying and does not come natural. The Scoutz professionals walk you through the process from beginning to end. We prepare and arm you with the necessary interviewing skills to feel confident from the moment you walk in the door. This includes: providing company due-diligence, dress attire, interview materials, common interview questions, questions to ask and/or stay away from, interview faux-pas, follow up correspondence, and much more.
