Resume Critique
Does your resume make an impact? Does your resume grab the attention needed to start the conversation with a prospective employer? If you answered no to either of these questions, this session is for you.
Your resume is the starting point for your new opportunity. When reviewing resumes, recruiters and hiring managers decide within 6-10 seconds if you are a potential candidate, before moving on. Passing this first level review is a critical step for getting to the interview stage. This session will provide you with the opportunity to have a professional resume writer provide critique, initial reactions, and tips for polishing your resume. Individual consultations will last approximately 15 minutes. Bring two printed copies of your resume and be prepared to take notes.
