Career Sevices To Hold Resume Clinic

By Connect Mason News Director Elizabeth Stern

To get ready for the Job and Internship Fair hosted by Career Services coming on March 19 and 20, Career Services will be holding an Employer Resume Clinic Monday, March 17 in JC Room 116 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. to help you improve your resume and highlight your skills.

With about 200 organizations and companies expected to attend the fair, having a good resume can make or break your potential for getting hired. It is a common mistake for job applicants to present disorganized and lackluster resumes without even realizing it. Slip-ups like writing a resume that extends beyond a page, includes irrelevant material or touts your high school Scrabble club leadership position will inevitably cost you.

There will also be a Job Fair Prep workshop taking place March 18 from 4:30 to 5:30 in JC Room A to provide further and more comprehensive assistance.

If you cannot attend either event, Career Services is available to help you with a resume or any other questions. To make an appointment, e-mail them at careerhp@gmu.edu or call: (703)993-2370. A Job Fair 411 DVD is also available in the Career Services Office, located in SUB I Room 348.
