Cover Letter and Resume Review
A cover letter serves as an introduction, inviting an employer to review your resume. At the same time, a resume provides a first impression. A polished cover letter and resume can make a positive impression that may lead to an interview.
All law students may request a meeting with a Career Development advisor for a resume and/or cover letter review. Please e-mail or drop off a draft of your resume/cover letter when you schedule your appointment so we may review it in advance of our meeting with you. Alternatively, you may send an email message with attachments to lawresume@richmond.edu. Experienced advisors will review your materials and respond within three business days.
