The UMass Amherst Career Services office can be an important resource for this part of your curriculum. You can contact the advisor appropriate to your college to give a short presentation within the class period on these subjects, or you can send your students to any one of our career events . In any case, you and your students should know that all students are welcome to bring a resumé, cover letter, or career concern to see the advisor-on-duty on a walk-in basis any weekday between noon and 4:00 pm in 511 Goodell. You're also welcome to download the following Career Services documents (PDF) that contain resumé and cover letter tips and resumé examples.
