The CRSS Events are part of the IUP Career Ready Seminar Series. The Career Ready Seminar Series provides an overview of key competencies which impending graduates need to learn and develop to be successful as they make the transition from higher education into the professional world of work. Learn about a professional topic and have the opportunity to network with industry professionals.

Résumé Reviews and Career InformationIf you need to have your résumé reviewed, but don't have the opportunity to stop by our office, you can send it to resume-review@iup.edu. Your résumé will be reviewed by one of our career consultants, and you will receive feedback.
We make every effort to be timely in the approval process, but it may take up to five or more business days to review and provide feedback on your résumé. Processing time may increase during busy times of the year (e.g., before a career fair, large networking event, or when all students in a class are required to have their résumé reviewed).
Be aware of job and internship application deadlines, and begin the résumé approval process well before an application is due. If you have an urgent need to have your résumé reviewed, please contact our office directly at 724-357-2235 or email your request to career-development@iup.edu.
Do you have a quick question about your résumé, interview skills, graduate school application, etc., but don't have time for a regular appointment? The Career and Professional Development Center staff is available over the summer for résumé reviews and appointments. Please request an appointment or submit your résumé to resume-review@iup.edu. In-person drop-in hours are Mondays 10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. and Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.
