Blog Post #3: Career

On Thursday, 7 th  April, I attended a ‘‘writing winning resume” workshop by Starr career center. It was very helpful as it told me about the various steps involved in making a resume and the major components of the Resume. The resume which are preferred by companies are those which have a organized form, which use bullets and has readable fonts(sizes should be either 10 or 12, no smaller than them). The comic san font is a big no. The use of power words is very Important(such as analyzed, collaborated, contributed, etc.), it impresses the companies. The resumes should use a lot of numbers and industry jargon, to make their resumes impressive. The resumes should be no longer than 1 page. If the resumes are not organized then they will be thrown into trash. This workshop was very helpful as it helped me understand the things recruiters take into consideration and what separates a good resume from a bad resume. I recommend this workshop to everyone as it will help in making successful resumes for internships and jobs.
