Resume Writing Workshop

On Wednesday September 17th in Webb 410, the BIS-ITSA Club held their biannual Resume Writing Workshop where students can come and have their resumes reviewed by alumni and some employer representatives. Many alumni are in hiring positions so the students can have direct communication with them to ask exactly what they’re looking for on resumes for the different internship career positions. Whether it be helping them put projects on they haven’t previously considered or rearranging the layout of their resumes to be more professional, this event is one of the most practical and useful events the BIS-ITSA Club holds during the semester.

The BIS/Bis-Tech alumni provide a unique perspective, sometimes being involved in the hiring process. These alumni have stated often that the Eastern CT State University students provide excellent resumes to them, highlighting the affect this event as well as the Resume Prep Workshop have in shaping students’ resumes for their career aspirations.

In the current job market, where companies normally receive hundreds of resumes from students across the state and Northeast for the same job position, it’s necessary to have a resume that resonates with employers and represents the hard work and achievements employers are looking for. Attending this event gives students a sense of confidence afterwards knowing that their resume is much cleaner and more professional than it was prior to this event working with Biz-Tech alumni.
