Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DTC

Resume Workshop

I went to a resume workshop with my few friends. The resume workshop was very helpful and gave a Resume & Cover Letter Writing Guide. A good resume has few important aspects. For example, a resume must be one page, everything should be neat and consistent so it’s easy to read for the employer. A resume should contain these elements: contact information, education, work experience, skills and activities (optional). For each bullet, there should be three parts: an action verb, a specific task that is quantified and a specific outcome or result. For the experience section, list only past and current experiences with date and not future plans. For future needs to revise your resume, you can attend a resume workshop at the Starr Career Development Center or make a one on one appointment with a counselor through Starr Search. Overall, it was a great workshop to attend.
