Document Drop Box

What is the Document Drop Box?

Our Document Drop Box is a service for School of Education students to receive feedback on their resumes, CVs, and cover letters from the Career Center.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • This service is for current School of Education students only.
  • You must set your document’s sharing permissions so “Anyone with the link can comment.”
  • For help setting up your Google Drive link and sharing permissions, click here for instructions on how to share your document.
  • You will receive feedback in 3–5 business days (longer during peak times). If you need feedback sooner, please make an appointment with one of our Career Peer Advisors.
