You may submit your resume via email for electronic review. In order to take advantage of this service, follow the steps below:

  • Allow a minimum of 7 days for response to resume critiques. Resumes will be reviewed in the order they are received. If you need feedback on your resume quicker than this process allows, please visit the CDC during Walk-In Hours or contact the CDC to schedule an appointment.
  • Resumes must be submitted to career@ship.edu.
  • Only documents submitted in Microsoft Word will be critiqued.
  • Electronic critiques are not a guarantee for accuracy.  Ultimately, you are responsible for the correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation in your resume and job-search related documents.
