Building a Resume

Thursday, January 207:00—8:30 PMZoom

Join our digital literacy instructor Robert and learn how to build a strong resume to increase your employability. Whether you want to create a resume from scratch or want to strengthen and edit your existing resume, this class is for you.

We will discuss the building blocks of a strong resume step by step and will focus not only on written content but also how to create a visually appealing professional resume to help you stand out to prospective employers. You will learn keywords that will strengthen the employment history, education, and skills sections. You will also learn how to format a resume in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

We will take a look at some example resumes together and critique the strengths and weaknesses of each one so that you can get a feel for how your own resume should look and practice your editing skills. We will close with a Q&A session so that Robert can address your specific concerns. Robert will also provide resources for you to continue learning and honing your skills beyond this class. For those that are interested and want to go over your resume in-depth, we have one-on-one appointments with Robert available every week. Sign up on our website in the Events section.
