Résumés, CVs & Supporting Materials

The documents that travel with every application: résumés, activities lists, CVs, cover letters, the applications for scholarships and summer programs. Each one gets the same treatment as an essay: coaching and editing, never ghostwriting.

Résumés and activities lists

A résumé should show impact, not list memberships. Each entry gets rebuilt around what the student actually did, in wording an application reader can scan.

Best for

Students building a first résumé.
Activities lists for college applications, where every character counts.
Transfer applicants showing what they did between high school and now.
Anyone who needs a professional one-pager that scans.

What is included

Full review and restructuring.
Bullet-level edits that surface impact.
Activities list optimization for applications.
Formatting that survives applicant tracking systems.
Two revision rounds, with a final polished PDF returned.

Most résumés come back within three to five business days.

Demonstration written for this site, not client work

Before The draft, marked

Member of Key Club and I also volunteered at different events around in my community when they needed people whenever extra help was needed.

After After the edit

Member of Key Club. Volunteered at events in my community whenever extra help was needed.

One activity, one clear action. Real numbers would sharpen it further if the student has them.

Résumés and CVs

Law schools want a résumé that reads in a minute. Graduate programs want a CV that shows the academic record in order. Same facts, different documents.

Best for

Law school applicants filing through LSAC.
Master’s applicants who need a CV or academic résumé.
Applicants a few years into a career, condensing work history for an admissions reader.

What is included

Restructuring to the format each kind of reader expects.
Bullet-level edits that show scope, responsibility, results.
Consistency check against the personal statement or statement of purpose.
Two revision rounds, with a final polished PDF returned.

Cover letters

A cover letter answers one question: why this person, for this position, now. Most drafts answer a different one.

Best for

Students writing a first cover letter with no model to follow.
Law students applying to summer positions, clinics, or externships.
Anyone whose letter restates the résumé instead of building on it.

What is included

A structure that opens with the fit, not the applicant’s history.
Line-level editing, with the reason behind each change explained.
A version you can adapt yourself for the next posting.
Two revision rounds.

Internship and job applications

Many law students come to Angelika for help applying to internships and positions. The work covers the documents and the application package, coached the same way as everything else here.

Best for

Law students applying to summer associate positions, judicial internships, clinics, or public interest roles.
Undergraduates applying to a first internship.
Recent graduates assembling a package for an entry-level position.

What is included

Résumé and cover letter, tailored to the posting.
Written responses where an application asks for them.
A consistency read across the whole package before it goes out.
Coaching on how to adapt the package for the next application yourself.

This is document coaching. It does not include job placement, recruiting, introductions, or networking on your behalf.

From a client

Quoted word for word.

Proof & Polish reviewed my cover letter and resume and presented me with a significantly more polished version of both that felt comfortable sending out to employers.
They also took the time to explain all changes based off successful experiences in the professional field. I didn’t just get the benefit of better work product, I learned how to implement her feedback for future cover letters. Highly recommend!!
