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

Please submit all resumes for review to CareerLink and allow 24-48 business working hours for 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/cover letter review 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.
