We strive to help in-person, online, and hybrid, business and communication students in the CBC, domestic and international, with resumes, interview preparation, and professional attire!
Dalai Lama
We share opportunities via the CBC Job and Internships board. You may also find other intern opportunities via the Brenau Career Services Handshake account or even Brenau University (search for "intern"). Then YOU (the student) must apply for, and win, the position (regardless of which system you use to apply). We are here to help you through the process and increase your odds of success!!! Let us know what you need!!! If you need a resume....click here.

Employers may sometimes also come to us looking for an intern match, and we share student resumes with them. They then contact students who may be a potential match. Either way, you need a resume, interview preparation, and professional attire! The CBC can help you with all three of these!!!! Once you have a resume, be sure to upload it to our resume database below to be included in the CBC's Resume LookBook!!!
Whether you have no work experience yet, or have several years of work experience, the CBC is here to help you craft or update a resume that will get you matched with the right role and organization! You also need to be sure the resume you have will pass ATS screening systems.
What is an ATS? (applicant tracking system) and why should you care about having a resume that can pass it?
