Resume Writing & Cover Letter Workshop

The only problem I had with this one was that it started before my schedule starts so I couldn’t take my mid-morning nap like I normally do. Outside of that, I really don’t have any complaints. This one really helped me out a lot. Before I went, I didn’t really have much of a clue as to how to put a resume together. I didn’t know what to put in it or how to start either. But they answered all my unasked and unanswered questions. They discussed how people don’t pay attention to detail, which is true. The first thing that everyone there had to do was to tell everybody their name and what they had to major in. Unfortunately, I got called on and barely remembered any of the people’s names in the room. I knew two people’s names. The only reason why I knew one (Kaweenia) was because of a summer program I went to. But I only remembered Stephan (if I spelled it correctly). But the speaker also discussed how a lot of things that can go on resumes that people don’t think can go. If you don’t speak a language fluently but have “working knowledge” for it and are able to read it and understand it, you should add it to your resume. Working knowledge is, after all, better than not having any knowledge. If you’ve done volunteer work or even done work for a family business, you can add that to a resume also.
