Career Exploration

This was the second workshop I’ve attended that helped with developing a good resume, and it wasn’t much different from the first one I’ve experienced in high school. I’ve been developing my resume for a while now by just putting down all the places I’ve worked, what skills I developed, and contact information in case I lose it in the future. However, there were a few things I learned from this speech that I didn’t know of beforehand.
The first is choosing the types of past job experiences you put down on your resume in accordance to the job you’re applying for. When submitting a resume, I just put down every job I’ve had and the skills I’ve learned. Now I know to skip the ones that don’t relate for the job I’m applying for. Second, I learned a few pointers about how to act during an interview. I’ve never been interviewed, but now I know to do some background research about the company and be well prepared beforehand.
What I found to be most helpful though, were the handouts that were given, especially the one with a sample resume. Even if I can’t remember what the speaker said, I always have something to look back on now.
