Resume Reviews and Feedback
Upload your resume to Handshake for review within 24-72 hours. Upload a job description and your resume to Big Interview for more specific feedback.
If you'd like Career Services to review your resume, you must first email it to anamaria.gonzalez@slu.edu. The SLU-Madrid Career Services office does not provide walk-in resume review service.
Remote Internships — SLU Experiential Learning Program
Participate in a remote internship from day one! These project-based, short-term internships are offered by organizations in the US and therefore do not have a minimum credit requirement. Create an account using your SLU Net ID login, and apply for a position today.
Scholarly Undergraduate Research Grants and Experiences (SURGE)
This program is meant to provide a path to connect students with faculty who are conducting research, creative endeavors, and other scholarly projects at SLU.
You can apply to opportunities posted in Handshake under the SURGE employer profile (search 'SLU SURGE'). You must provide a resume and a statement of purpose (cover letter) explaining why you want to be involved with this project.
The applications will go to the faculty member overseeing the project and they will choose whom they wish to hire.
