I went to a workshop called Resume Writing on October 27th of 2009. We were told to dress up for this workshop, but when I got there, no one wore business attires. Representatives from the STARR career center came over, and helped us understand and learn how to write resumes. Not only did they give us the format, they provided us with sample resumes and explained each categories, one by one. Also, they helped us find our strengths and weaknesses that we may also write in the resumes. They explained the fact that we have to use certain verbs and words to catch the attention, and to stand out from other applicants. I felt that this workshop was very organized and very useful for everyone. They gave us additional information as to writing the thank you letters and writing the introductory pages. The handouts they gave out were very useful, and it was something that would come into need very soon. I also learned for the first time that I can visit the STARR career center for various reasons, and overall enjoyed this workshop very much. It was very helpful and I would recommend it to anyone who needs help in any way or form.
