As we all know, resume, along with cover letter, is one of the most important things to be prepared before even contemplating about getting employed, whether it be volunteering, internships, or full-time employment.
To have the full package of a prepared interviewee, one of the characters I have to experience being before officially getting employed, regularly updating my resume is undoubtedly crucial.
So, when I found out that none of the session at Starr Career Development Center was of my interests, I decided to call up my mentor to review my almost ancient resume.
Without being reminded of the document’s existence, I was not aware of how outdated my career-related documents were, let alone of the urge to duly, constantly update them.
During our conversation, I put in my most recent experience in an internship, which I did before the end of my last semester in high school. Although the responsibilities of the position — administrative assistant tasks: organizing files and registering costs on spreadsheets — were largely similar to the one before, we still managed to find subtle differences between the two. Investor relations, the department I had the pleasure to work for in my most recent career-like experience, was finance-related. That means the speciality of it was more number-oriented. Corporate engagement, of which I had very similar experience with a year ago, had given me tasks that were mostly related to policies — city, state, and federal — and the implementation of them.
My mentor was kind enough to sacrifice his time to give me a timely session on such an essential item in my life, and also gave me a reminder that everything, literally everything, in this incessant lifestyle has to be updated.
