Resume Reviews

Have your resume reviewed by a current PESC student or company representatives! It may be helpful to bring a printed copy of your resume for the best feedback. If you would like to makes changes to your resume after your appointment and have it reviewed again or if we were not able to get to you, please use the resume resources that the CCO provides throughout the semester. The CCO offers Quick Chat appointments Monday-Friday from 1pm-4pm (10-15 min conversations) and you can have your resume looked at by a member of the staff. Visit boilerconnect to set up either a Quick Chat in-person or virtual appointment. They also have two resources you may take advantage of at any time. One is the CCO handbook with resume samples and the second resource is VMOCK, an artificial intelligence tool used for dissecting resumes based on industry.
