Resume Writing

I learned some important tips about writing a resume. During the extra session on Thursday, I learned how to tailor my resume to the prospective employer with the use of relevant action words. I also learned to omit unnecessary information to free up space for the things that the employer is seeking. I think the workshop could have been a little bit more structured so students could have more time to write suggestions on other students resumes. I did not have enough time to properly read and comment on some of the resumes because some of them were lengthy.
