Have you ever wanted to learn how to write a winning resumé and cover letter? How much would you pay to get the tips needed to get one step ahead of the game, and produce an award winning resumé in both paper and email format?
On Monday, September 13, the Career Services Program hosted a workshop in Morehead Hall on Resumes. The intention of this workshop expanded beyond educating university students how to write their resumés, it taught them how to build their professional lives. Despite a small turnout, the workshop was loaded with an abundance of tips, tricks, and general information about the development of a resumé. At 3p.m., the doors closed, and the action began in the workshop. Assistant Director of Career Development, Mrs. Maralyn Kinch, explained step by step the proper way of composing and editing an e-resume.
Special emphasis was placed on fonts, formatting, and keywords that would put your e-resume at the top of the stack. The hour session concluded with each of the students fully aware of how to produce an e-resume to die for. Asked about the goals of the program, Kinch explained, "Our goals of the program are that our students learn that Career Development is an office that can help students throughout their education and that the staff is friendly and committed to helping."
Many would pay hundreds of dollars for services that would give them that extra advantage ahead the rest. We at Montclair, though, have it much easier as the services are right at our fingertips. The program is here to stay and Kinch hopes everyone will make use of this glorious advantage. "We always want more students to take advantage of our services but we know how busy most of our students are so we created a very extensive web site with lots of career planning and job hunting information as well as an on-line job listing system. However, we hope students will come for counseling and attend workshops since nothing can replace face-to-face interaction."
The fab four below are tips acquired from the workshop:
