Graduate Student Association Resume/Vitae Workshop

Greetings Graduates!

As foretold, we have finalized our workshop event, to be held this Saturday, Nov. 14th from 1pm to 2pm in the 3rd Floor Board Room of the ADMIN Building (where the Graduate Office is located).

We have an exciting line up of guest specialists who will come to personally look over and tutor people's resumes and CVs. Among these individuals are the University Writing Center Interim Director - Terrie Garcia and our own Graduate Adviser - Denisse Cantu. We will also have representatives from Career Services to participate and distribute handouts.

The event will begin with a short presentation by your officers to brief on the different job sectors to apply for (business/academic/non-profit/government). Our goal is to provide a list of resources representing these job markets and example resumes for participants to begin exploring job possibilities on their own - in the event some participants cannot stay for the entire event. After which, each guest specialist will spend a few minutes introducing themselves and their field of expertise. Each specialist will then be available in separate work areas to tutor your documents and answer questions.

Please spread the word this week to anyone you think may be interested. Though this workshop is geared towards graduate student concerns, undergrads are more than welcome to attend and you are not obligated to bring a CV or a resume to participate.
