career workshop

I recently attended this career workshop that helps individuals craft better resumes in order to land jobs. I chose this event because it really caught my attention, especially since I have not written a resume of my own yet. I was a little nervous at first because I felt like I was the only who hasn’t written their own resume yet. I was able to meet a lot of new people at the workshop. however, to my surprise, there were also multiple other people who haven’t written a resume yet or even know what to put on it. This brushed away my nervousness and made me feel a little more comfortable. The workshop itself was really helpful and the instructor was really kind. She went at a pace that allowed everyone to fully understand what you should be doing when writing a resume. Half-way into the workshop, I have already learned so much new information. The best part was that I was not overwhelmed by information, instead, I grasped them and fully understood. I realized that writing a resume is so much more than just writing what you did in your past. If you want a winning resume, there are plenty of tricks and little tips that will help you land a job. One of these little tips and tricks that I learned is that you should build your resume around the company you want to work at. An example of this is if you want to work for a tech company, you would not want to put being a waiter at a restaurant as one of the main things in your resume. Instead, you want to put accomplishments or jobs that you have done that relate to technology like winning a robotics competition. Attending this workshop not only taught me more about resumes, but removed my previous opinion that these workshops were a waste of time. I look forward to attending more of these to not only better my chances at a job, but also to better my future.
