Resume reviews/Mock phone interviews
Many iSchool alumni volunteer to review current students’ professional resumes and to conduct practice telephone interviews – all to help prepare students for a very competitive job market.
Below, you’ll find a list of those alumni who are willing to participate in either resume reviews and/or telephone interviews. Select the alumni whose profession most closely matches your career goals. Then, to request a resume review, simply e-mail your resume and/or cover letter to them. The alumni volunteer will be in touch with you shortly. If you would like to schedule a practice telephone interview, please send your resume to the appropriate alumni and request an interview time frame. You can provide a sample job description, or request one via e-mail to amy.herlich@pitt.edu.
The iSchool thanks all of these amazing alumni who are graciously volunteering their time and talents to benefit students as they enter the job market.
