Resume writing can be tough – and if you don’t think it is, yours may not be up to snuff.

Resume Ole! A Resume Writing Workshop

Thursday, May 5th  11:45am – 12:45pm

Allstate Campus, Room 121

In this comprehensive Resume Workshop, Rebecca Sarver, former Career Specialist, will outline the basic parts that every resume must have, and give you actual tools to help you make that happen. As she begins every workshop, Rebecca likes to stress that a resume is an art, not a science. Meaning that while one workshop will work primarily with one’s Profile, Work Experience, and Education, while also touching on additional sections that could be added (i.e., Leadership, Professional Associations, Volunteer Experience, etc.).

Even if you’re not looking for a job – or ready to graduate yet, a resume workshop can be a great way to beginning crafting the ever-changing document. In addition to assisting with job searches, resumes are also vital in finding internships while still in school and for remembering all of the great activities that you may have been involved with while enrolled at SPC.

Some topics covered in the workshop will include:

• Identifying important parts of a job posting
• Transferable Skills
• Writing for the FUTURE job
• Crafting the perfect bullet point
• Summarizing your experience to a short profile
• Creating dynamic verbiage

A Mexican fiesta lunch will be served to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Be sure to bring a notebook and be prepared to take notes.
