Enrichment Workshop #2- Student life in school

For my second enrichment post, I attended a Resume and Interview Information Session with Alpha Kappa psi a while back. I was required to bring a resume prior to the event which was kind of difficult for me as it was my second time making one and I wasn’t really sure what was necessary to include and what wasn’t. I also never really had an interview before as most of the stuff I did before didn’t require one or they just accepted me right away. I was able to talk with many older people who had gone through the experience of applying for jobs, interviews etc and it was great to receive advice from first hand experience. They even offered to send me templates to help fix my resume. They told me what were important aspects to keep in it and what were things to discard. They also told me what are things that recruiters look for so I incorporated all those elements into my new resume. They also gave me tips on interviews.I  even scheduled a practice interview with one of them with my updated resume as well. They helped correct my resume online as well which was really helpful and apparently they said I didn’t do too bad on my first interview which made me really happy. I also met a graduate or two who were there and they told me their experiences and real life tips on how to succeed with a good resume. Even though you can apply to 100s of jobs only some will even reply, so now I know I can’t be too picky with what I get.
