I chose to go to the Resume making lecture presented by Alpha club as my against my will First Year Seminar assignment. Walking in there I expected a boring lecture on something I’ll never need in my life but it turned out to be anything but that. The presentation on how to build a resume and how to sell yourself to any future employer was actually very informative, helpful, and educational to me. I learned that little details need to be left out of it because the interviewer will most likely ask questions and I learned about the appropriate structure and format of a resume. The team that conducted the presentation also went over how to properly give a speech and present yourself which included being concise, formatting it in chronological order, taking your time, and connecting with the listener to have their full attention. I learned a lot from going to that club meeting and I think I can definitely be able to utilize the skills I learned from their power point presentation and speech in my every day life.
Concise is key! I am so glad that you found the Resume Workshop informing and extremely helpful, because a lot of people go to the these club things write a little about them and call it a day. It is better to do something and leave with something than do something and leave with nothing. Especially when you are learning skills to apply for Medical School. There are definitely more workshops that definitely develop your skills as a person, and during interviews.
