Do you have 15+ years of work experience and aren’t sure what to keep on your resume anymore? For folks who are deep in their careers, especially if you’ve worked several jobs in that time, it can be challenging to decide what to keep on your resume and what to drop so that you stand out to recruiters.
Without falling into the trap of perfectionism, sometimes there’s a finishing touch that your resume could use to eliminate common errors and clarify your value even more. Learn what these things are. Come to this workshop if you feel like your resume is “done” but perhaps haven’t been getting the reaction you feel your experience deserves.
In this workshop, we’ll cover:
How to identify the most relevant details to include on your resume.
How to create a punchy resume that stands out in the 7 seconds recruiters say they take to scan your resume.
Formatting tips to improve clarity.
Top No-No’s that are easy to fix.
We encourage attendees to bring their resume and follow along. Following this workshop, 15 attendees will have a chance to get individual resume feedback from Dr. R.
This workshop and attached services are covered by The HBCU Sponsorship for Professional Development.
Up next: Join us next month for a workshop about job interview skills for workers beyond 40
