Before requesting a review, look through our Resume and Cover Letter “Learn How To” sections for guides, templates, samples, and tips!


Undergraduate Students & Undergraduate Alumni

  • First, review our Undergraduate Resume Guide and Undergraduate Resume Checklist.
  • Please include the title, field, and/or type of position you are seeking.
  • You may submit the same document for review no more than two times in one month. Do not send another copy of your resume until it has been reviewed once already.
  • Please allow up to  one week for your review to be completed by an advisor; you will receive an email when it is ready for you. We try our best to complete reviews in this window, but may take longer during peak recruiting seasons or the start of semesters.
    • Accepted Document Types: Doc, Docx, PDF
    • For applications to graduate, law, or professional school, please scroll down on this page for instructions.

Please log-in to our site with your PennKey to continue. Click “Log in” at the top right.

Note: You may not submit a new resume for review until you have received feedback on your last submitted resume. You may not submit the same document for review more than two times in one month. Maximum of one resume for review per week.


Applications for Graduate & Professional School


Graduate Students, Graduate Alumni, and Current Postdoctoral Fellows

You can make an appointment with a career advisor at any time, but you’ll find it more helpful if you have a draft version of your resume (and/or other job search materials) to get the most useful feedback.
**SEAS Master’s candidates:  You are encouraged to review the Undergraduate Resume Guide and Undergraduate Resume Checklist

  • To make an appointment, log in to Handshake or call 215-898-7530.
  • Or schedule a Same Day Drop-In phone appointment by signing up on Handshake beginning at 9:15AM the day of the appointment.
    • Note: Please include your phone number when making the appointment and be sure to be available for the advisor at the time you select. These slots are for 15 minutes appointments so it may not be possible to get a complete review during this time.

Note: For non-online Master’s Degree Candidates in the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), you may also complete the Document Review Request form under the Undergraduate Students section.
