Resume & Cover Letter Service
The Resume & Cover Letter Review service is designed for resumes in the final draft stages. Review will include general style, punctuation and grammar and whether the content of the resume supports the objective.

Cover letters will be reviewed only by request

Please submit all resumes for review to CareerLink and allow 24-48 business working hours for a response.

During busy times such as the beginning of on-campus recruiting, the few days immediately preceding and during our Career Fairs, internship application periods, etc., resume reviews may take 2 or 3 days.

If you plan to participate in on-campus recruiting, you are strongly encouraged to have your resume reviewed using this service.
