• Career Fair Workshop
  • Mike Foley joined the UF faculty in 2003 as a Master Lecturer in journalism, after 30 years at the St. Petersburg Times. He did his share of hiring at the St. Petersburg Times, and brings that knowledge to help you prepare your resumes and cover letters for the Job and Internship Fair and/or other interview opportunities. Foley also teaches a professional practice course, which inspired the basis of this meeting with a resume and cover letter critique. He will also be available for any questions you have, so ask away!
