Today, our PED 350 class, was fortunate to have the head of Career Services, to visit. She was very beneficial to my classmates, and also to me! She explained the importance of a resume and how important it is to getting a career job. She explained a mass amount of details that should be included in the resume.
Most resumes are organized in chronological order, starting with the most recent and working backwards. She also explained, that when you are giving an elevator interview, you should be absolutely confident and doing nothing but selling yourself. But, I also learned that, when going into an interview with a company, you should be very well educated on the company, in which a future employee is interviewing for. Peggy explained that most interviewers will ask you about their company and if you don't know anything about them, then you are basically done and out of the hiring process.
Overall, the visit from Mrs. Peggy was very valuable even though I have a job lined up, upon graduating. I learned a lot about the resume process and where to go to get help. In the near future, I will be visiting the Career Services department in regards to developing my own resume.
