They have all the tools and knowledge to help you, use them because the reason most take that job is because they are actually very nice people and love to help others!

For everything I learned in school, I think a full semester is required to learn about the resume building/interviewing/hiring process. This isn't easy stuff, everyone needs practice in this process.
They required anyone who interviewed on campus at my college to pass a mock interview so that they could prove that you were at least competent at an interview and wouldn't embarrass the school. Was definitely a good idea. There were also optional classes you could take on interviewing/resume building, but they weren't required. Maybe they should have been.
