LACS Resume Policy

All uploaded resumes will be reviewed by a member of LACS for grammar, format, marketing and relevance within two business days of uploading. If your resume does not meet the minimum requirements, it will be returned to you for editing. During the review period and possible editing time, your access to job postings will be suspended. Please allow enough time to avoid missing any application deadlines by uploading your resume into BTT Gateway early.

The Resume Templates and Action Verbs are intended to be examples to help facilitate writing your resume. Please do not copy these resumes verbatim as this could have a negative impact if your peers use the same resume for the same organization. Each resume template is unique in style and content and allows for flexibility in career interests.
