"Welcome To The Perfect Resume" - Tonight's Workshop at The Pennsville Public Library
Bob Marino, past adjunct professor at Temple University in Philadelphia and currently on staff at Salem Community College is clearly in favor of 'giving back to his community'.
This evening, Bob facilitated an extremely valuable and much-needed class on how to properly prepare a resume in order to attract attention by today's employers. What is most impressive is that Bob conducted this workshop at no charge. (Thanks, Bob!)
The resume has changed in the last ten years, in case you didn't know. It is most important to tell the potential employer what you can do for them and why they should hold onto your resume......let alone hire you.
(I'll share the resume tips in another post for anyone who may be in need of this important information.)
Bob also spent some time on interview skills. Once your resume is spruced up, it's necessary to be ready for what happens next, so interview skills are very important to ensure your success in obtaining your new job. You must be prepared for the interview just as you must have your resume prepared to get noticed.
I sat in on the workshop because of my position on the Board of Trustees for The Library, but I have to admit I learned a lot. A whole lot!
In fact, Bob shared that there is something that job hunters are utilizing now; a letter of introduction. After hearing the description of how this type of letter is being used in the workplace, it gave me an idea of how to tweak it a bit for my Real Estate business.
I just love to learn new things, don't you?
Many thanks to Bob Marino for facilitating a terrific workshop for the Library. Next month's business workshop is scheduled for February 23rd, 2012 at 6:30 pm. The topic is "Social Media and Blogging".
Hope to see you there!
