Career Advising

Peer advisers (PAs) staff the majority of our drop-ins. PAs receive extensive training to provide you with constructive feedback on resumes, cover letters and best practices for job and internship searches. 

Peer advisers are your resource for:

• Resume and cover letter help—Whether you're writing your first resume or improving your existing resume and cover letters, the PAs offer knowledgeable advice and resources to get results. They can help you tailor your documents to employers' needs and expectations by assisting with wording, organization and style.
• Job & internship searches—PAs can guide you through the many resources available for your internship or job search, no matter what the field.
• Business cards—We offer free business cards during drop-in hours. Work with a PA to design business cards from one of our templates. One sheet of business cards (10 cards) are allowed per student per year. For more design options or to order larger batches of business cards, we suggest Paradise Copies in Northampton or online services such as vistaprint.com or moo.com.

Peer advisers also assist visitors in the Lazarus Center’s Resource Library, manage the Suit Yourself Program and support workshops and other events.
