Alumni Cards

Resume & Cover Letter Services
Students and alumni may have resumes and/or cover letters reviewed by our professional staff. Materials may be dropped off, faxed in (312-362-8373) or emailed to staff (attach the documents in either Word or WordPerfect). It takes two to five days for review. Reviewed materials may be picked up during regular business hours, emailed back or faxed to alumni/ae.
Computer, Fax & Photocopying Services
Computers are available in the Resource Center for student and alumni use. They may used for on-line research via Lexis or Westlaw and Internet job search as well as for resume, cover letter and thank you letter preparation or editing.
A fax machine and photocopier are also available for use. There is a nominal fee for faxing. Career-related photocopies may be made without charge.
Note:
Passwords for students and alumni are available in Law Career Services. Student passwords are unique Career Services password and are not the same as the Student Campus Connect or any other DePaul student password. Alumni passwords change quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. Alumni must contact Law Career Services near the end of one quarter to obtain the password for the next quarter. Passwords will not automatically be emailed to alumni.
At present, Law Career Services continues to maintain the job postings in binders located in the Career Services Resource Center and the Law Library. All information in the binders is also on-line. The binders provide recent job listings and other information for a wide range of employment opportunities. These binders are updated several times during the week and are reviewed every two to three weeks to ensure that the positions are still available. Occasionally, a job may be filled before the Law Career Services Office has had the opportunity to update the records.
Multiple copies of the most popular job listing books are available. These binders should not be circulated outside the Career Services Office. Sometimes, detailed information is provided by the firm, governmental agency, judicial institution or corporation that is listing the job, and this also is included in the binders.
