Resumes and Cover Letters

Having a stellar resume and cover letter is essential for any job or internship search. Once you have a draft created, we’d be happy to critique your documents:

• Set up an appointment by calling (616) 526-6485
• Stop in during walk-in hours (3:30-4:30 p.m. weekdays during the school year)
• E-mail your documents to us (resume@calvin.edu) Note: meeting in person is preferable, but if you are out of the area or aren’t able to schedule an appointment during business hours, e-mail critiques are offered
