What to expect at your AWE resume review appointment 

Preparing for your resume review appointment? Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of it!

Why Attend a Resume Review? A resume review is more than just a quick scan of your document. It's an opportunity to receive personalized feedback to help you create a polished, tailored resume that stands out to employers. Whether it's your first review or a follow-up meeting, every appointment is an opportunity to strengthen your work search documents.

How to Prepare:

• Submit in Advance: Make sure to submit your resume (and cover letter, if applicable) at least 1 business day before your appointment. This allows your Work Experience Coordinator time to provide thoughtful feedback.

• Bring a Job Posting: If possible, include a job posting you're interested in or one similar to your career goals. This helps your Work Experience Coordinator tailor their feedback to the specific role or industry of interest.

• Come with Questions: Think about areas where you feel stuck or unsure. Are you struggling with how to describe your experience? Not sure if your formatting is effective? Bring those questions to the appointment!

What Happens During the Appointment: Your Work Experience Coordinator will focus on four key aspects of your resume:

1. Format: Ensuring your document is organized, professional, and easy to read.

2. Wording: Refining how you describe your experiences to highlight relevant skills and achievements.

3. Content: Identifying gaps or opportunities to better align your resume with the job you're targeting.

4. Presentation: Polishing the overall look and ensuring consistency throughout the document.

Your cover letter will also be reviewed to ensure it is clear, concise, and effectively showcases your interest in the role.

After the Appointment: Take time to apply the feedback you receive. You might need multiple revisions to perfect your resume—and that's okay! Remember, you can book follow-up appointments or attend workshops for additional support.
