Resume Building Workshop- DSP

Earlier today I attended Delta Sigma Pi’s Resume Building Workshop. Apart from having to attend an event on campus for the blogs, attending one of DSP’s events is required in order to join the fraternity, therefore, this worked out for me, both ways. Having a well organized resume is an essential tool for everyone in any field of study or profession, however, I wanted to know what a businessman’s resume should look like. Soon enough, I am going to be applying to jobs and internships, so this workshop was especially useful to me. I know a “Resume Building Workshop” may sound like a boring event to attend, and I must admit, I did expect to walk into a boring event. However, that was not at all the case. The event started off with the everyone introducing themselves(like always) and quickly moved into what a good resume should look like. Next, we split up into groups and analyzed the sample resume. One important thing that I learned was that a good experience on a resume should be summarized by the following three questions: What did you do? Why did you do it? and How did it contribute to the greater good?. After we got through what a good resume should look like, I spent some time meeting and talking to some of the brothers. They all seemed very enthusiastic to chat with the recruits and share their experiences. Being in that room gave me a sense of community and real brotherhood. I enjoyed being in a room with super cool individuals with very successful careers so far.
