Resume, Cover Letter, and C.V. Resources

The USC Career Center provides guides, templates, and online apps to help with writing resumes, cover letters, and C.V.s which can be accessed in the Handshake.

Students are also invited for an in person review of resumes, cover letters, and C.V. during drop-in advising hours held Mondays to Fridays 1pm to 3:30pm in STU 110 (Fall & Spring semester only). During the summer virtual 15 minute resume reviews are offered to current students by request on Handshake.
