Resume Clinics & Advising

Did you know that employers spend an average of 20 seconds reviewing each resume?

Beat that 20-second scan and make your job applications more effective by attending a resume clinic or one-on-one advising session with the Career Peers.

Resume Clinics

At the 1-hour long resume clinics, you will receive a short presentation on resume basics, and then get feedback on your resume and cover letters in a small group setting.

 

Summer Schedule

Tuesday

12 pm - 1 pm

Wednesday

12 pm - 1 pm

Please bring a paper copy of your resume and/or cover letter as well as a copy of any job posting to which you may be applying. Because students will be working in groups, it is challenging to accommodate laptops during the clinics.

Want to get a headstart before attending resume advising? Check out the resume and cover letter resource page for samples and tip sheets.

Note: On the following dates, the regularly scheduled resume clinic will not take place:

  • Tuesday, April 24

  • Wednesday, May 9

  • Wednesday, May 16

One-on-One Resume Advising

Meet with a Career Peer for 30 minutes of individual feedback on your resume. Advising takes place in the Career Services office at 1036 Brock Hall.

Note: The same day One-on-One Resume Advising services by Career Peers will not be available for the summer term. This service will return in September 2012.
