Writing Center Workshops

Are you having trouble fitting your jobs and extracurricular activities on a one-page resume?  Are you confused about how to write a resume that is going to be fed into a computer rather than read by a human being?  Are you having difficulty targeting your cover letter and resume for a particular position?  Well, the CLUE Writing Center is here to help!  

The CLUE Writing Center will be conducting a Resume and Cover Letter Workshop tonight in Mary Gates Hall. Our workshop aims to guide students through the process of creating a resume and cover letter that highlights their relevant skills and effectively tailors their experiences to meet a potential employer's needs. 

Who is this for?
·  All students applying for full time, part time, and holiday or summer employment. 

What will participants learn?
·  How to determine which personal, technical, and transferable skills to highlight
·  Tips for determining employer needs
·  How to analyze different resume formats and select one that best markets their skills and abilities
·  How to create a tailored resume and cover letter

We hope to see you there!
