Employers that are not able to visit UT Law’s campus request that the Career Services Office collect resumes from eligible students. The application materials collected from students are then forwarded in one package to the employer.

Employers establish candidate criteria and indicate whether it is preferred (indicating there may be flexibility in the candidates an employer is willing to consider) or required (meaning only persons with those qualifications can apply). These preferences are noted on the resume collect schedule above.

If you meet the stated criteria, and would like to submit your application materials for the Resume Collect program, you will need to do the following:

1. Have a sample resume and cover letter reviewed by Law Career Services.
2. Gather the requested materials for EACH employer you wish to apply to, and submit those materials along with a Resume Collect Cover Sheet to the Law Career Services Office by the date noted.
