After last week’s full schedule of “Life After College” events, Concordia’s Center for Career & Vocation is still going strong with more exciting upcoming events. 

Starting at 6 p.m. on Wed., March 26, the Career Studio will be hosting a resume revision workshop titled “Crafting a Savory Resume.” At the workshop, students will receive some practical writing tips and have an opportunity to meet with Career Center staff to refine their resumes. As an added bonus, the first fifteen students will also receive a free Chick-fil-A sandwich. Open to all students, this workshop is a perfect opportunity to improve your future career confidence and be resume ready to engage with potential employers.

Katherine Olea, Assistant Director of Career Development, said that the workshop is directed to any and all Concordia students looking to create their best resume possible. With so many internship, job and graduate school opportunities, every student can benefit from having a well-written, professional resume. 

“The event starts with a quick 10-minute overview of what makes a strong resume, followed by an open session where Career Center staff will be available to answer questions and provide personalized feedback,” Olea said. With the help of the Career Center’s trained staff, students can expect tailored guidance and feedback to assist in any stage of the resume-writing process.

“A resume will be an important part of my career goals in marketing because it will allow me to stand out as an eligible candidate for internships and jobs,” said Alannah Batty, Business Administration major. Although Batty has had some previous experience with writing a resume, she believes that a second opinion and additional proofreading from an expert will help keep the resume concise and effective.

According to Olea, all resumes and career documents should leave a lasting impact. “A memorable resume isn’t just about listing experiences; it’s about telling a compelling, results-driven story that makes you stand out to employers,” Olea said. With the help of the “Crafting a Savory Resume” workshop, this goal can be achieved by all students at Concordia.

Be sure to stop into the Career Studio (located on the upper level of the library) on Wed., March 26, at 6 p.m. for an impactful resume review. 

If students are unable to attend the event, fear not! The Center for Career & Vocation is open every weekday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., to assist students with any career-focused questions.  In addition to the resume services, students can also receive guidance with major and career planning, job and internship searches, career and personality assessments, and more! To set up an appointment, go to the “Career Center” tab on Handshake or go to the Career Center’s website: cui.edu/studentlife/career-services.
