"I previously used the resume checking service when preparing for my IBL position. It was very useful and several little
mistakes were picked up. I would encourage other students to use this service".

"Just wanted to write a quick email to say thanks for all your help, and particularly with the fantastic cover letter that you helped me with.
I was flat out filling in all the online application forms last week and already have been contacted by two firms in
response to applications. So that's a good start."
Gabrielle, Bachelor of Business (Accounting)
"I would like to express my many thanks for the assistance you gave me when I first visited the Careers & Employment
Unit. When I came to see you I was unemployed and struggling to get into my chosen field of accounting. You kindly gave me
direction and some suggestions to get me on my way. But mostly you gave me encouragement to look at other ways of viewing
traditional jobs. Your help and advice directed me to better way to seek a job opportunity. For the past one and half
year I have been employed in a senior accounting role and I thoroughly enjoy my work. Thanks again".
Jade, Bachelor of Business
"I have had my resume checked by numerous resume writers, however i found your feedback to contain one of the most
insightful comments provided to me so far. The single most important thing you told me, and others missed this completely,
is that it's what you've done [the skills] that's important, and not the CONTEXT of what you've done. ..... because if
necessary you can put the CONTEXT into a cover letter. I changed my resume to give it more focus on the skills and removed
the vast amounts of detail that only my previous employers would understand. thanks for all your advice...it worked!!!!!!!
Today I took my new improved resume along to an agency and was given an interview on the spot! Thanks for all your help I
feel really confident that I will get a job very soon".
Nick, MIT Graduate
