Work it! Work it! (a job-ready workshop)

Apr 24, 6:30–8:30 PM to May 15 (4 sessions)

14–18

Did you know that the word résumé has accent marks over the two e’s? How aware were you that there is more than one way to write a résumé? (As of this writing, there are 7!)

In this workshop you’ll learn what it takes to write a strong résumé that can help you apply to jobs, internships, and potentially even colleges.

Over the course of four weeks, you’ll get guidance in writing your résumé from people who know what it’s like to work: adults. And you’ll even get the chance to practice your interviewing skills with these same people.

Join us for a few informative sessions that could help you find that summer job you’ve been wanting!

Activities will include:
Résumé writing
Career guidance and skill assessment
Practice interviewing

***PLEASE NOTE: This is a 4-week workshop, and attendance to all sessions is required from April 24th to May 15th.
