On January 25, the Career Center hosted “Resumania”, an event where students could get their resumes checked for review by people from various companies. This was a great opportunity for a student to get their resume checked by professionals who knew what they were talking about, as well as get ideas of what a good resume would look like. Many students came to Resumania, with resumes in hand, to get good advice regarding how to properly shape their resumes. Unlike the upcoming Job Fair or last week’s Co-op Program, formal attire was not required.
Outside the gate of Techflex, two people were sitting outside to help print out resumes for those who did not have the opportunity to print those resumes beforehand. After check-in, they gave the person checking in a mask as masks were required for the event. After that, students moved forward to another desk where they were logged in and given a sticker with a number on it. They waited in line, waiting for their number to be called in order for them to go in. When they were finally called, they were able to be let in.
Inside Techflex, there were over 20 desks inside, each with a person from a different company, ready to review the riveting resumes. At the desks, students were given advice regarding how to properly format the resume in order to attract potential employers, as well as additional information that could be added to the resume to make it more appealing to potential employers as well. In addition, they were given sample resumes to get an idea of how a resume should look like, as well as additional resources to go to for getting their resume checked, like the Writing and Communications Center. Resumania is a great place for a student to get their resume checked.
