Resumes and Cover Letters

Resume Critique

Your resume is a marketing tool, and often your first introduction to a potential employer, so you want to make the best impression possible. Resumes should be tailored to the job you are seeking, and should be a brief overview of your qualifications and experience to highlight particular accomplishments for a prospective employer.

Resume and Cover Letter Reviews

Career Services prefers to conduct the first review of a resume (or cover letter) during an appointment with a Career Coach or during established walk-in hours with our professionally trained Career Peers. Further review of an additional draft and feedback can be provided via online submission. Our goal is to return your individual review within 7 business days.
