Resume Power Hour - October 6 @ 12:30 PM | N-007

-How to showcase your experience

-Resume Do's & Don'ts

-Write impactful bullets

-Make it your own

Can't make it to the workshop? Here are some other resources to bring your résumé up to par:

• Michigan Works! workshops
  Attend an in person, online or pre-recorded workshop to improve your résumé, your interview skills or prepare you for the job fair.
  
  
• Big Interview
  Don't be fooled by it's name. Big Interview offers way more than interview tips (but you might need that too!). This online resource offers training in résumé and cover letter preparation.

Arrive early! Get the lay of the land and locate what employers you want to talk with. Keep an open mind for organizations you are unfamiliar with. They might have something perfect for you!

Want to look your best for the job fair, but don't have anything to wear? Check out Delta's Closet! Delta College students can shop free at the on-campus reuse store that provides gently used, professional clothing, at no cost to you.

Come up with a brief introduction of yourself. Include some of your past, positive work experience or skills, what you like about the company and why you would be interested in that company. You are marketing for yourself!

Side note: don't bring up salary or benefits at this point unless they talk about it first. 

These are just a few of the great employers that will be there, waiting to meet you.
