PICS Professional Development Workshop. Don't Sell Yourself Short: Resume, Cover Letter, and LinkedIn Strategies that Lead to Interviews

PLEASE NOTE: STUDENTS CAN DROP IN ANYTIME DURING THE 2-HOUR TIME BLOCK!

Drop in to have your resume, cover letter, and/or LinkedIn reviewed. This is a great opportunity to have these materials reviewed and updated prior to the career fair! If you have class or other commitments, you do not need to stay the entire time.

Cover letters and resumes tell your professional story. They are your first impression when seeking an employment opportunity. This session will help students create impact-centered resumes and cover letters. Resume basics, resume formatting and resume content will be discussed using examples from the resumes of the session participants. Students should bring PRINTED copies of their most up-to-date resumes as they will receive feedback from all the session participants as well as the instructor. Please RSVP at the following link to attend: http://myumi.ch/gj9xP.

This session will also teach participants how to use LinkedIn to research, network, and apply for jobs. Having a LinkedIn profile already created is highly encouraged and students must bring computers to this session.
