Resume Workshop

Tonight, our evening EET 4th semester students had a resume workshop with our new Career Services Director Laura Kilmer.

Some tips from the presentation:

• Remember that most recruiters will scan a resume in about 20 seconds. Make your resume clear and easy to read.
• Don’t rely solely on templates– make it your own and make it unique.
• Use a size 10 font or larger.
• Always send a cover letter!
• Proofread your resume and have someone else proofread it as well before sending it out. Mistakes show a lack of attention to detail.

Laura’s final piece of advice was to start job search preparation early and prepare to work hard. She mentioned many local employers that have been calling her, looking for employees. There are jobs out there, but it is up to you as a job seeker to put out the hard work and take charge of your education.
