*Resumes for the YES Pile (A GECD Webinar)*

*Tuesday, February 17, 1:00-2:00pm* **

Can your resume survive a 15 second scan and still get into the YES 
pile? This webinar will cover 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. All GECD events are open 
to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni. Advanced 
registration requested via CareerBridge:
