Meeting Minutes 11/10

In case you missed tonight's meeting, Julianne conducted a resume workshop, giving everyone tips and advice on how to spruce up their resume.

When creating a resume, keep the following in mind:
  • EDIT, EDIT, EDIT! One spelling error can detract an employee from hiring you
  • Include all "impressive" experiences throughout your college career, with the most relevant experiences to the job listed on top
  • Try to add an element of creativity without being obnoxious, so that your resume stands out but is not over-crowded
  • Don't let your resume exceed one, single-spaced page
  • Include details that expand on each experience you had
  • Create a personal brand for yourself, and allow this brand to expand onto your other professional items, such as business cards/Web sites, etc.
Hope tonight was helpful, ladies! See you all next week.
