Invisible Resume

We talk to students often about how they talk to their network contacts, and especially references and recommenders, about their experiences, goals, and talents. This article does a great job discussing how these references serve as your invisible resume because often what a reference leaves unsaid is as important as what they say about you. Yes, it is difficult to hear criticism, but as is often said, perception is reality so make sure you understand how others perceive you, especially if they are the ones you are relying on to help you develop your professional skills, contacts, and career moves.
