Resume and Cover Letter Assistance

The Mahomet Public Library has staff members with experience in career services who can assist patrons with:

  • Creating a new resume.
  • Updating or fine-tuning an existing resume.
  • Crafting or editing a cover letter.

If you would like assistance, please contact us at Staff@MahometPublicLibrary.org. If you have an existing resume and/or cover letter, please include them with your email. We would prefer documents that we can edit (Microsoft Word, Google Docs, etc), but if you only have them in pdf format, that will be fine. One of our staff members will review your materials and provide constructive feedback.
