Jan 13 - Does Your Resume Communicate the Right Message? - Reminder

[Dana Bresee Keeth]

*Does Your Resume Communicate the Right Message?*

*Tuesday, January 13, 2:00-3:30pm, 4-237*

This workshop presented by Bob Dolan 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. All GECD events are open to MIT 
undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni. Advanced 
registration requested via CareerBridge:

If you are considering exploring Industry positions, you will need to

document 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.  Actual MIT PhD/Postdoc
