Resume Reimagined: Collaborative Resume Building Workshop

Unlock the potential of your resume at our interactive workshop, designed to help you structure your resume for maximum effectiveness.

We’ll explore the elements of a standout resume through interactive exercises, analyze examples, and provide time for you to draft and receive peer feedback on your own.

During this collaborative workshop we will…

• Review the elements of a good resume
• Introduce a resume format that focuses on outcomes and metrics
• Discuss what an example resume conveys about someone
• Build a draft resume and receive peer feedback on it

It is recommended that you bring a laptop or tablet to work from, but you can always draft with pen and paper.
Workshop will be held at The Foundry in Shop 6 (The Red Multi Room).

Please come prepared with a preliminary list of any experiences (i.e., professional, academic, hobbies, etc.) that you would like to capture with your resume.

For each experience, you may find it useful to brainstorm a list of all of the things that you’ve done in this role. Note: we will have time devoted to this step during the workshop but some may prefer to brainstorm beforehand.
