Resume Workshop Today

You can find an endless supply of free resume templates online. Some are good, some are really bad. Here's one  from Behance that I think is effective. And here is a link to "23 Creative Resumes."

Today in class we're going to help each other in improving the look, the content, and the writing style of our resumes. We'll borrow great ideas from our classmates, and we'll steer clear of  their mistakes and missteps. 

See if you can identify at least one "element" of your classmates' resumes that is particularly tuned for the "Plant Life in the City" fellowship. Is it a generic resume that would just as easily be used for a job at Chik-fil-a? If the answer to this question is yes, there's time between now and Thursday, February 6, when it's due.

Upload your revised resume to Populi; no need to print it out.

PS: I'll be the Writing Studio tutor tomorrow (Wed) from 9-4, and also on Thursday morning from 9-1. Come see me. It's actually fun... no kidding.
