Resume Writing

I went to the Resume Writing Workshop on 11/17/09.  This workshop provides students important information about resume and using STAR Search.  They are specific rules to follow when we are writing a resume.  The presenter explained all the parts of the resume in details.  I was sharked when I heard that we do not put any work experience and education prior our high school graduation.  This information somehow made me upset.  Does it mean that all I did was pointless?  Maybe many of you will have the same question in your minds.  This is the main reason why we have to volunteer and join clubs to build up our resume.  The STAR Search is also a great tool for us to find internship and part time jobs.  Some information that I want to share is the part about “all reference request available.”  Many of us who have resume will put this sentence at the end of our resume.  It is important that you all know, when you put this in your resume, you have to have a reference page after your resume.  The reference should be no more than three people.  Make sure you contact them and let them know you are looking for a job and people may contact them for that.  I am satisfied with this workshop.  It refreshes my memory about resume and at the same time, provides me new information about resume writing.  I will start using the STAR Search website to revise my resume and perfect it.  I will do this when I have time.
