Update your resume (if you are seeking employment immediately upon graduation) or your curriculum vitae (if you plan to apply to graduate school). Try to tailor it to your specific goal. In other words keep the resume focused on how your skills apply to the work force and keep the curriculum vitae focused on your academic goals.
You must also identify three potential references to whom you intend to send a letter requesting a reference/recommendation with their contact information provided (name address e-mail address and/or telephone number). These can be current or former professors employers supervisors etc. For each reference specify how that person is familiar with your academic or job performance.
