Using VMock
1.
Log in to Vmock.
At vmock.com/oregonstate, select either "student" or "alumni."
- Current students have automatic access and can log in with their ONID email credentials.
- Alumni can sign up for continued access to VMock for 12 months after graduation. At the Vmock login page, sign up with a personal email to request your continued access.
2.
Upload a resume or CV for instant feedback.
- See the VMock user guide for detailed instructions.
- Each OSU student gets 10 resume uploads per year to the Vmock platform.
- Tip: don't focus too much on your exact score within VMock. Scoring 100 is not the goal – instead focus on making improvements and getting your resume into the green zone.
3.
(Optional) get additional feedback
Once you've worked through some of the suggestions Vmock provides, you can re-upload your resume to see how your score improves. You can also get feedback from career advisors, professors and mentors.
- Within Vmock, you can use an option called "Share for Network Feedback" to send your resume to reviewers via Vmock. Read the Vmock Requesting Feedback Guide.
- You can also make an appointment with a career assistant or career advisor to get a personal perspective on your Vmock scores.
