How to Get Help with Your Resume or Cover Letter

Please note that the following steps are required before an appointment may be scheduled:

1. Review the content on this page – many of your most frequently asked questions are addressed here!
2. Using the resume building guide and the resume examples, create or update an existing draft of your resume.
3. Once you have a current draft, send it to us for a review. We will get back to you within 3 business days, and if an appointment to discuss our suggestions is requested or would be helpful, we can help you get scheduled. Please do not send your resume as an email attachment – we require that you use the form as we receive a high volume of requests.
