Does Your Resume Communicate the Right Message?
Wednesday, February 12, 3:00-4:30pm, 24-121
This workshop will discuss the many ways of creating a resume that effectively targets the Hiring Manager. 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.  Advanced registration requested via CareerBridge:https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student

Career Planning for Financial Independence
Wednesday, February 19, 2:00-3:30pm, 68-181
Come learn about building your financial independence over the course of your career. Alan McMillan, Sloan Fellow ’91, will be presenting on critical life skills for emerging university talent. McMillan will:
•                    Demystify personal financial management
•                    Share a macro view for you to become aware of your financial situation and long term strategy
•                    Give pragmatic steps for your early career years
This is not a ‘how to invest your money’ seminar, rather McMillan will discuss long term planning over the course of your career and simple steps to make you financial freedom more certain. Advanced registration requested via CareerBridge:https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student
