A well-crafted resume is your most powerful tool for securing interviews and communicating your potential. However, many trainees struggle to convey their accomplishments in concise ways that are engaging and tailored to their goals. This webinar is designed to help participants sharpen their resume-writing skills through hands-on activities and direct conversations with experts from government, academia, and industry.
We will begin with interactive breakout group exercises that give participants the chance to practice key writing techniques, including rewriting resume bullet-points to be more impactful and a development activity to develop a strong, memorable professional summary. These activities will provide practical strategies for transforming your experience into polished and compelling content.
For the second half of the session, we will transition into small group discussions with professionals from Academia, Government, and Industry. These discussions will provide a rare opportunity to ask direct questions to working professionals and gain sector-specific insight into what makes a resume stand out in each field.
Whether building your first resume or refining an existing one, this webinar will offer clear strategies and expert guidance to help you present your accomplishments with confidence and impact.
