Workshop Description: This workshop takes a ‘flipped classroom’ approach so please view this linked video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0pFVl35eBU before attending and bring your relevant questions for an interactive discussion of CV/Resume struggles and strategies. The video replaces the slideshow.
A CV/resume provides the first impression of a candidate to a potential employer. The content of your document should quickly grab the reader's interest, and the format must deliver information clearly and concisely. To make it even more challenging, you need to summarize the highlights of your career in just a few pages. This interactive workshop will cover the basics of crafting your CV and tips for tailoring your Resume to specific job opportunities. THIS workshop is focused on materials for the all relevant job searches.
