Resume Workshop
A resume workshop is a session that helps students learn how to create a resume that showcases their skills, achievements, and personality. A resume is a document that summarises your education, work experience, activities, awards, and other relevant information for a potential employer. A resume workshop can teach you how to write a resume that stands out from the crowd and increases your chances of getting an interview.
A typical resume workshop may include the following steps:
-
Reviewing the basic resume components, such as name and contact information, summary statement or objective, education, work experience, activities, awards, and skills.
-
Identifying your interests and career goals, and matching them with suitable jobs or industries.
-
Listing your activities and accomplishments, both in and out of school, and reflecting on what you learned from them.
-
Choosing a resume format and template that suits your needs and preferences.
-
Writing your resume using clear, concise, and professional language, and avoiding common resume mistakes.
-
Optimising your resume for applicant tracking systems (ATS), which are software tools that scan resumes for keywords and rank them according to their relevance.
-
Proofreading and editing your resume for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.
-
Getting feedback and suggestions from peers, teachers, or resume experts.
