📍 Remote
🏢 Hosted by Carleton University Career Services
Carleton University Career Services is hosting a virtual Resume and Cover Letter Clinic on September 24 to help students prepare their application materials before career fairs. This two-hour online clinic provides guidance on crafting effective resumes and cover letters that will appeal to recruiters. The session is part of the Prepare for the Fair series designed to equip students with the tools they need for successful job searches.
Why it’s worth going
Finance and accounting recruiters often collect resumes at career fairs and use them to make quick decisions about follow-up interviews, so having a polished document is critical. A strong resume tailored to finance roles can help you articulate technical skills like financial modeling, accounting software proficiency, and analytical abilities that employers specifically seek. This clinic provides an opportunity to refine your materials before handing them to potential employers, rather than discovering issues after missing opportunities.
Going in prepared
Bring a current draft of your resume and any cover letters you’ve been working on to the virtual session so you can get specific feedback. Have examples ready of your finance or accounting coursework, projects, technical skills, and any relevant experience you want to highlight but aren’t sure how to phrase. Since the clinic is online, consider having your document open in an editable format so you can make changes in real-time based on the guidance provided.
