Resume. One of the most stressful paper but the most necessary paper in order to get a job. Starting from high school, teachers and fellow students always emphasized how important a resume and cover letter are in life. My resume will be the first impression to an employer, which will determine if I will be eligible for an interview or not. Even though I kind of learned how to write a resume in my English class in senior year of high school, I was not so sure about how to write a professional and perfect resume. Then, I received an email from the STARR career development center about the workshop about “writing winning resumes.” I immediately made a reservation on STARR website since I thought this workshop was what I needed.
The workshop was supposed to start at 12:30. However, the instructor/advisor came into the room at 12:54. I was little bit cranky at that moment because it was after I took my history midterm. Anyway, the instructor began the workshop with the powerpoint she made. She emphasized how important the format of the resume was. She told us how most resumes are in chronological order and resumes must be one page. She also pointed out that Computer Information System majors should have a more formal resume style, which was the information I needed. With various examples of different kinds of resumes, I started to get a sense of what I need and don’t need in my resume.

Through this workshop, I was not as worried as before about my resume. I realized I could always make an appointment with STARR center to revise my resume. I am planning to attend more workshops that Starr Career Development Center provides before it’s too late for me to get an internship place.
