Get tips on how to rev up your resume at workshop, May 13

A resume is more than your work history; it’s a window into your accomplishments, skills and path. How you frame your experiences can give a recruiter or potential employer a glimpse into how you’d fit with their organization – or send you to the “no” file.

 

Join “How to rev up your resume for today’s market” to learn how to catch a recruiter’s eye by reframing your experiences. Instructor Bailey O’Connell, lead recruiter for Creative Circle’s Washington, D.C., office, will share practical tips for writing and organizing resumes that make it easy for employers to see your unique attributes.

 

 

Registration is open for this workshop, which will take place from 12 noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, May 13.

 

Topics at the workshop will include:

 

• Framing your experiences for new opportunities
• Resume dos and don’ts for 2021
• Design and organization tips
• Examples of what works (and what doesn’t)

This course is the last part of “Career Connection: Defining your digital footprint” — a free, weeklong series from the National Press Club Journalism Institute to help you create and maintain the journalism/writing identity you want to showcase to sources, employers and publishers.
