Resumes & Cover Letters

Starting From Scratch

Resume templates provided below are applicant tracking system (ATS) compliant. We recommend having your resume critiqued by at least two people before sending it out to a potential employer. Additionally, incorporating a cover letter in your application materials is great way to stand out as the best candidate! 

Current students and alumni can have their resumes critiqued by our coaching team via email at careersuccesscenter@shsu.edu or by making an appointment. Please note that emailed resume critiques will be returned within 3-5 business days.

Please feel free to download the template that meets your needs. 

Additional templates and guides can be found in the Career Center office or accessible by undergraduate students in the Blackboard Learning Lounge.
