Welcome to the Career Lab

Are you looking for help with your resume, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile? Whether you’re in the beginning stages and not sure how to get started, or just need help polishing your materials before sending them out into the world, our Career Lab Coaches are here to help you with your career-related needs.

Need your resume or cover letter reviewed?

The Career Lab is open all summer for resume and cover letter reviews! As an undergraduate student, there are two ways you can receive feedback on your application materials.

Email

For a written review of your materials, please send the following to careerlab@clarku.edu:

  • The document(s) you need reviewed attached as Word docs or PDFs.  
  • A sentence or two about what you are using these documents to apply for (if possible, include a link to the opportunity so we can provide suggestions on how to tailor your application materials).  
  • The date you need the document reviewed by (please allow 3-5 business days). 

Virtual Appointments

For a personal review, schedule a 30-minute virtual appointment by following the instructions below:

  1. Log into Handshake
  2. Select “Career Center” then “Appointments”
  3. Schedule a new “Career Connections Center” appointment with the “Career Lab”

Drop-In Hours During the academic year (fall and spring semesters), the Career Lab is open for in-person drop-in hours on the first floor of the Shaich Family Alumni and Student Engagement Center (ASEC) weekdays between 12pm and 4pm.
