Thurs. Oct 13, 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Location: E39-040 (Basement Classroom)

Learn about 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.  Presenter: Bob Dolan, Assistant Director Career Services, 
MIT Postdoctoral Scholars). Advanced registration requested via 
CareerBridge: https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student.
