Resume and cover letter reviews - document approval

All JSOM students who submit resumes and cover letters to Handshake will have the documents reviewed by CMC staff to ensure that they meet the school's guidelines. All documents uploaded to Handshake are reviewed and approved/declined within 24 hours (business days). Please check your Handshake account for notifications.

If your document is declined, please read the recommendations added by the Career Development Specialist and make the changes prior to resubmitting the document.

If you would like assistance in creating the resume, please consider attending one of the many workshops offered by the CMC to understand the format and content that employers expect.  

If you are a new or transfer student, you will receive instruction on effective resume writing in Business Communications (a course for all incoming Undergrads BCOMM) and in Professional Development (required course for Master students MAS6102 )

JSOM CMC appointments are available through Handshake for refining your resume or cover letter. JSOM CMC also offers Resume and Cover Letter Review Drop-In sessions.  Check under events in Handshake for the next session and join for a quick question or advice.  

Students are responsible for proof-reading all their own documents.
