Editor's Notes

  • #3 Nick: Learning Outcomes/transition to next slide
  • #4 Donna: Nick: may elaborate on how Donna’s points connect to ResLife
  • #5 Before we begin, I want to return to our initial meeting about the nature of people. These are only a few we listed, but they all relate to people’s need to be a part of community and accepted into that community. Nick – taking these words and making them real on a resume/in an interview
  • #7 Nick: this is the question you want to answer in every bullet point of your resume Interactive – ask audience to share majors and think about translating RA responsibilities to connect to their future positions
  • #8 Nick: Intro
  • #9 Donna: So – just as a refresher, why do people get in trouble? Have to deal with community – being a part of that community and being accepted into that community Nick: Add example/elaborate for each bullet Magic of honest moments: employers will many times give away what they are thinking (verbal, non-verbal cues) Good stories What do we listen to? Don’t overcomplicate your response!
  • #10 Nick: Importance of updating your accounts yesterday! (Especially seniors)
  • #11 Notice her catchy headline. This is becoming increasingly popular on LinkedIn and searchable by employers. So you will want to think about: Catchy, not corny. Make it relevant. Keywords that may tie to your skills in the job you are in or the job you want to get. You can combine your title with a headline. Notice her picture is professional. Would you say she is approachable looking?...
  • #12 Let’s take the plunge (Donna present activity, Nick + Donna follow up with processing questions)
  • #13 If we need to fill in time have them highlight items on their resume they need to work on editing or think about how to address in a mock interview. Schedule a mock interview to practice.
