Yesterday, along with other fellow “Baruchians”, I attended the Winning Resume Workshop hosted by the Starr Career Development Center. Who knew that there were so many types of resumes? The main thing that kept popping on my mind was how little experience I have! Leadership, teamwork, and academics are the core necessities in creating a good resume.
The instructors told the class that every experience counts. Whether you are a cashier at a store or an intern at a big business company, they are all experiences that develop our social skill. The important fact is how to write it.
Let’s say you were a casher right, and you think you have no credentials. Well, I hope I am NOT the first to say that that is totally not true! As a cashier you would handle money. This means you are trustworthy. Of course, there is always that idea that says ‘take it and leave’. Being the fact that you are trustworthy says a lot (especially to all of you business majors). So why not put it on your resume?
Cool huh? But remember, even though everything is an experience, you have to judge which of those are eye-catchers and those that are just mundane. I learned a lot from this workshop and will definitely seek another like this one…but with my own resume in hand!
