On Wednesday Dec. 7, I attended a workshop hosted by the STARR. The title of the workshop i attended was Writing Winning Resumes. Just like the title stated that is exactly what our instructors talked about, how to write and improve our resumes. At the beginning of the workshop the instructors went over the standard forms of resumes and what to do and not to do while writing a resume. She also went over a concept of a “fit” resume. That is the resume should be aligned with the type of job that your applying to. Shortly after, the instructors divided the class into small groups of four to five students and had us do an exercise that required the use of proper language in order to make our resumes as efficient as possible.
What i thought was the most interesting information was when our instructor told us that the email that you put on the resume should be professional. Although, it might seem like obvious information, it made me realize that the employers will be judging every aspect of you and even a childish email or a spelling error on your resume can cause you to lose a job.
