Resource Library

The Career Services Office maintains an extensive resource library for our students and alumni.

• Many of these materials can be checked out.

Resume and Application Review

Students and alumni can hand deliver, email, or fax resumes, and any other application materials, to the Career Services Office for review.

• We will make notes, give you written feedback and return materials to you.
• We are happy to review your materials as often as needed.
• During busy seasons (on-campus interviews in the fall and right after classes begin again in the spring) it is best to get your materials in as early as possible to allow ample time for review and feedback.
• If you have an appointment scheduled, it is important to get your materials in at least two days prior to your appointment to optimize discussion.

Reciprocity

Gonzaga University School of Law has a reciprocity agreement for use of career services for students and graduates of other ABA-approved law schools. We wish to offer as much assistance as is reasonably possible to persons who plan to relocate to this area. Click here to review our reciprocity policy.
