Resume Office Hours

Resume Office Hours are live, drop-in sessions where students can get personalized feedback on their resumes from experienced upper-year students. These events are a great way to help students improve their applications and feel more confident heading into internship or co-op season.

🧩 What They Are​

  • Typically hosted in person, in a classroom or lounge space where students can drop by for feedback.
    • May also be adapted to run in Discord as needed, using either voice or text.
  • Scheduled ahead of major co-op deadlines or job fairs.

⚠️ Things to Consider​

Time Zone Inclusivity (if run online)​

  • If adapted for online delivery, remember that some students may be international or in different time zones.
  • Consider offering multiple time slots or keeping channels open for asynchronous feedback if running virtually.

Diversity of Reviewers​

  • Ensure your team of resume reviewers includes a variety of academic and career backgrounds.
  • This helps:
    • Provide richer and more personalized advice
    • Support students applying to a wide range of fields (e.g. startups, co-ops, research, government, big tech)
    • Create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all attendees
