Your resume is often one of the first things a prospective employer or graduate school admissions staff member will see. A cover letter is another document a prospective employer will review first.

If you would like resources on either your resume or cover letter, consider scheduling an appointment with an advisor or Peer Career Advisor in Handshake.
