Learning Intention: We will be able to construct a professional resume.
The purpose of a resume is to provide a summary of your skills, abilities and accomplishments. It is a quick advertisement of who you are. It is a "snapshot" of you with the intent of capturing and emphasising interests and securing you an interview. It is not an autobiography. Since your resume is a primary tool in your job search, it needs to be carefully written and critiqued.

job interview skills
job interview skills
Learning Intention: We will be able to demonstrate the skills required to positively manage a job interview.
The idea of a resume is to get you an interview. The interview is just as important for the interviewer as it is for the interviewee!! The interviewer uses interviews to investigate applicants as to their personality and suitability for the position they are seeking. Furthermore, the interviewee uses the interview to explore whether the job and company is something that they want to be a part of.
Your first, and every interview can be a very nervous lead up and experience. Being prepared can help minimise these feelings and help you to enter the interview feeling confident and focused.
