For my last blog post, I️ attended a star career development center workshop. The workshop took place on Wednesday November 15, 2017 from 11am-12:15. First I️ had to RSVP online the night before. During the workshop, I️ learned about resume building. First, we talked about a focus 2 assessment. This assessment is free to Baruch students and can be found on the baruch website. This assesses your interest and skills and it gives you an occupation at the end. We moved on to reviewing four resumes. Some had errors and others had typos. I️ learned that just simplest typo will get your resume in the disregard pile from a hiring manager. I️ also learned to not put your GPA on your resume if it is under 3.0. The cliche resume building follows these guidelines: education, experience, skills, hobbies. I️ also learned that even though your previous job experience has nothing to do with the job you’re applying to, you should still put it down. This is because as freshmen, it is good to show that we have successfully been employed and we can articulate some skills we’ve learned from our previous jobs. I️ also learned to not put an objective section on your resume because most hiring managers don’t care much. While building your resume, it shouldn’t be too chunky. Things should be specific and straight to the point. It shouldn’t be in a paragraph form but in bullet points. At the end, I asked her if I can take a picture with her as proof that I attended, but she said no. She instead signed on the booklet she gave us.
