Who should come
- Current jobseekers and those thinking about looking for a new job. It's
a great opportunity to meet new people who are in the same boat, get
ideas you haven't thought of before and a different perspective of your
options.
Why
- Looking for a networking group where you can sit down and have a
conversation with other jobseekers? We always provide honest,
constructive feedback to help each other. The meeting ends when all the
questions are answered.
How to find the organizer(s)
- "We meet in the large dining room on the right hand side. It's a
quiet, relaxing atmosphere and we sit around a few tables, get some
coffee and take an objective look at what's working and what's not in
your job search."
--Melanie

So you finally sit down to update your resume.
You have a
resume-writing book by your side, you've done some research on the
internet--and the first thing you need to pull together is the Career
Summary and/or Skillset list at the top of many resumes.
How the heck do you write those things? What should you include? What's the purpose? Are they even NECESSARY?
Your
heart sinks...and instantly you can think of a million things you'd
rather do (that dust behind your couch is REALLY piling up!).
We'll
talk about how to write these sections, figuring out what your unique
skills are to include and tips about what I do to make them more
enticing and exciting.
Bring your current resume and jobs that you're applying for for some real-life examples.
