This week, we worked on marketing ourselves. We covered resumes and interviews. I have always been intimidated by creating the perfect resume. I definitely have life experiences and past jobs I can expound on, but getting it all out on paper just seems a little overwhelming. You've got one chance to impress. How can I make sure I stand out?!
We discussed the importance of having a master resume. This is where you throw out everything you've done on paper. It should include your education, experience, involvement within the community, skills, awards and interests. Once you've created this log of what you're all about, you're only supposed to include the things that specifically pertain to the job you are applying for.
The interview: The main point I got out of this week's lecture is to BE YOURSELF. All I have done and been involved in has shaped me to be the person I am today. This is a time to show off my personality & passion for life.
