To begin, I got an email from American Eagle last week. They went over my application and called me in for an interview. I had to bring my resume with me to the interview. However, my resume was very outdated and lacked professionalism. I needed assistance from someone who knew how to write a successful resume. My search ended quickly as I recalled that Baruch has the STARR Career Development Center right on campus. After revamping my resume on my own, I decided to set up an appointment online. The website was very simple to use and I managed to find the perfect time for an appointment. I met with Parmeet Manchandani, a counselor at the center, the next Monday. Parmeet helped me understand the very basic flaws in my resume. It came to knowledge that a good resume should be no more than one page. To add on, I was missing a cover page. I was very lucky to have a counselor who is very dedicated to helping clients. Although the counseling session was supposed to be thirty minutes long, the counselor put some extra time into helping me and making my resume look good. The visit helped me pick up many different skills when it comes to resume building. I learned how to phrase words in different ways. I understood by phrasing the words in a certain way helped make you look more intelligent. It also helps whoever reading your essay by simplifying things such as your past work experience. Speaking of past work experience, I never had much retail experience. Therefore, I was taught how to use the accolades, skills, and community service contributions to help strengthen my resume. Past experience as simple as freelance tutoring were worded in a way to give it great significance. When I left the Career Center that day, I felt very confident in my resume. After the interview, I think my resume played a huge part of me being called in for a second interview.
