Hey everyone! Last Thursday, I attended an ALPFA meeting, well workshop. It was one of their many workshops about career development and resume building. This first workshop’s main focus was resume building and how to stand out in a pool of applicants when applying to any job. At first, we just talked about the building blocks of any resume because as one of the workshop mentors, and probably lots of other people, said “A well written resume goes a long way.” Then, we discussed how to improve an existing resume and what skills should be added and which shouldn’t. After the resume portion, we moved on to discussing leadership and networking, two very important things in college and in life.
I thought this workshop was very interesting and am glad I attended it because it was beneficial and educational. Throughout my high school years, I’ve worked in many places and been a part of many programs and all I would do is ignorantly cram them all into my resume but now I know better than just throwing different things on there. I think ALPFA is going to be a great tool in building my career throughout my college years and in the future.
