Build a Resume that SHINES

Whether you are writing a resume for the first time or updating your resume for your next career move, you'll want a resume that stands out (in a good way). Not sure what hiring managers or HR recruiters are looking for? Which, if any, of the million templates online should you use? At a loss for what to write if you have little job experience? Uncertain how to make your past jobs relevant for your next move?

We will start with what recruiters say they are looking for when they read your resume-- knowing your audience is important!
We'll cover the basics: the things absolutely every resume should have, and the optional things that might depend on industry.
We'll talk about tailoring your resume to the job you are applying for, and why you should be altering your resume for each job application.
& we will talk about cover letters, since most applications will expect one to accompany your resume.

Feel free to bring food with you to eat during the presentation, and to bring a copy of your resume or a laptop to make notes and changes as we go along. The goal is for you to leave this presentation more confident in how you are showcasing the skills, knowledge, and experiences you are developing inside and outside the classroom.
