Students and alumni may have their resume and/or cover letter critiqued by a counselor.  Students and alumni should hand in a printed copy of their resume and request that it be critiqued. Resumes are critiqued in the order they are received. Sample resumes and cover letters may be viewed in this section of the web site. Most resumes are completed within 1-2 weeks, depending on the time of the semester. After reading the comments, students and alumni are welcome to contact a counselor to discuss the suggestions.
