Career Advising & Connecting with Us.

For Career & Practicum.


Resume, Cover Letter, LinkedIn Reviews.

Doing a deep resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn review is very beneficial. The BUSPH CPO offers these on a virtual and drop-in basis.

In-person reviews: Typically take place in the Career & Practicum Office located in Talbot 2 East during the school year. Fall 2024’s schedule is as follows, but may be subject to change.

Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays from 12:00-5:45pm

The BUSPH Calendar will also reflect the hours.

Virtual reviews: In Word format, email your resume, cover letter, and/or the link to your LinkedIn page to sphcareeroffice@bu.edu. Include the job description you tailored your materials to — also in Word format. Allowing for a 2-3 day turnaround. For best results, we suggest attending drop-in sessions with our reviewers.

We recommend having your application materials reviewed by different people in the field and by those who have previously hired staff. Please note: a Career PREP application approval is different from this type of application review.

For tips, templates, and where to begin your application materials, see our Job & Practicum Application Pieces section of our library.
