Resume Critique

Drop off your resume and/or cover letter for review at the Career Center. Please allow 48 hours for feedback. Once you have made corrections to your resume/cover letter, you may want to make an appointment with our staff to further discuss your situation.

Resume Referral

The Career Center collects and submits students' resumes to employers who are seeking candidates to fill full-time job openings. To view a list of upcoming resume referrals, go to the Career Center's events calendar.

Students should have their resume critiqued by the Career Center prior to submitting a resume for referral purposes. Submit your resume to the Career Center by the stated deadline and you will need to sign a Recruitment Information Release Form for us to release your resume to employers.
