What is Resume Review Day?
This event brings employers, hiring managers, and alumni together virtually to offer 1-on-1 resume review to students from all majors and with all career interests. This is not an interview or formal application for a specific job/internship within one of the companies, but an incredible opportunity for students to get tips and feedback on their resume from industry experts that look at thousands each year.Bookmark this event to stay up-to-date on which organizations will be in attendance.How do I share my resume with Employers?
This semester, you will have two options for sharing your resume for feedback:
- Share your screen. Have a copy of your resume open on your computer during the event and share your screen with the employer.
