Pre-PA Counseling - Resume Review
A practicing PA reviews your Pre-PA resume and walks through how to stand out on paper while fitting all of your efforts on a single page.
It does not read Pre-PA. It reads "former undergrad with a job." It reads "I downloaded a Word template once." It reads I have no idea what a resume is.
You're about to attach this to a PCE job application, or a CASPA application, or both. And every PA forum has told you that the resume matters, but none of them told you what to actually fix.
You don't need a call. You need someone to mark it up and tell you what's wrong.
We know which bullet patterns PA schools scan past versus the ones that land.
During the review we'll dive in to what you've done well and what you could improve to make sure your experience shines, even on paper.
30 minute one-on-one session to go over your resume, recorded so you can revisit as much as needed.
Expert insights Pre-PA coach who knows what's good, what's great, and what's a red flag
One-page strategy note follow up so you know what's working, what's not, what to add.

Before it goes to a PA school, get a practicing PA to make sure you're on track.
You're applying to a PCE or HCE job (MA, scribe, EMT, CNA, PT tech) and want a resume that reads Pre-PA.
You're attaching a resume to a PA school application and want it polished before submission
You have one and aren't sure if it reads "Pre-PA" or "former barista with a science minor."
You want strategy on whether the experience itself is right, book Pre-PA Counseling.
You have already submitting your CASPA application and are in the waiting phase.
Resume is a 1–2 page job-application document. CV is the academic long-form (publications, posters, often 4+ pages). Pre-PA students almost always need a resume; CV territory starts in PA school, so for our purposes there isn't much difference.
No judgment. You're in the right place. The most useful reviews are usually the ones where the starting draft is rough. We have more room to add value. Don't 'fix it' before sending; we'd rather see what you actually have.
Counseling answers strategic questions (which experiences to pursue, what hours to count). Resume Review polishes how those experiences appear on the page. Not sure which experiences are right? Do Counseling first.
