Can your resume survive a 15 second scan and still get into the YES pile? Discussions will surround the strategies of effective messaging and how to be "on-point" with your written communication. Your resume is not an autobiography, but rather a list of relevant
accomplishments that links your skills to the needs of the company. You’ll use these techniques in your lifelong career strategies. This workshop is open to undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs and alumni.
