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.
- 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.

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.
