Does Your Resume Communicate the Right Message?
Tuesday April 4th 1:30-3:00pm Loc-3-333
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? You will need to bring your resume to the Spring Career Fair so you will want a document that is effective.  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. Actual MIT PhD/Postdoc resumes will be provided as handouts.  All GECD events are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni.
