The workshops and résumé reviews will be held in the Vetro Plaza 3 Room.

Planning Your Job Search: 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM

This workshop addresses employment trends and professional values (self assessment). Then, the process of networking is explored: who is in your network, how to expand it. Strategies such as informational interviewing will be discussed.

Preparing a Resume: 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM

Your résumé is a personal introduction and leaves an impression. In this workshop you will learn which personal data format is right for your "marketing plan," and construct a winning résumé.

Effective Interviewing: 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM

Many job seekers think their work ends once an interview is secured. Think again! This workshop will examine the entire interview process, types of interviews, frequently asked questions, and how to evaluate an offer.

An ACS Career Consultant will be available to provide individual résumé reviews and career assistance from 1:30 -5:00 pm. You must bring a copy of your résumé. Sign-up will be available at meeting registration.
