Test your resume with VMock
The VMock platform uses an algorithm to instantly assess your resume’s impact, presentation, and content. VMock lets you:
- Get immediate feedback, anywhere and anytime.
- Strengthen your accomplishment statements to make them more effective.
- Analyze your core competencies to see how you can add more skills to your resume.
- See where you are in relation to UBC Sauder resume standards.
All UBC Sauder BCom students have access to VMock. All you need to do is log in with your CWL.
VMock works best with text-based resumes. If VMock is unable to properly assess your resume because of visual elements, you may wish to try using our resume template.
