Welcome back, MSOE students, and welcome to all the new freshmen and transfer students!  Don't wait to build or upload your resume into Career Net, as the school year will only get busier.  You don't want to miss out on any job or internship opportunities!

Benefits of a Career Net resume:

1) Employers can view your resume online and contact you directly.
