On October 26, 2017, I attended a workshop for teaching how to make a good resume. At the beginning of the workshop, the instructor told us usually it should be one page of your personal resume. You should declare your education and volunteer experience on your resume. And then, it’s better for us to write down which position you are interested in. By the way, you can also mention your unique skill, for example, what language you can write and read. After you finish your draft, you could develop it by going to the writing center. Finally, he recommended we can type it in both Word and PDF form, which can make sure the printer will not cut off your resume.
After send out your resume, luckily, you may get the chance for an interview. When you are waiting for the company’s response, you need have to do something preparing for your interview. For example, you can research the company by visiting the company website or reading newspaper – WSJ, The Actuary, etc. And then, you need to learn about the industry by researching or reading BASS Articles. And the most important thing is you should learn some technical skills, like Excel, VBA, Python, etc. Also, we can keep attend some workshop.
Overall, we need to practice, practice and practice. A good resume is the first step to find a nice job.
