“Creating an effective resume is such an important skill to master,” said Brooks Burleson, a senior business administration/finance major from Camden, Ark.
“In a highly competitive job market, it is crucial for students to make their resume stand out among the rest,” said Kristen Barnard, a senior mass communications major from Hot Springs, Ark. Barnard attended the resume workshop last year and also added, “The workshop shows students different examples, walks them through what should and shouldn’t go on a resume and how to make an effective, ‘sticky’ resume.”
“Your resume is a good snapshot of who you are,” said Garet West, a senior mass communications major from Bolivar, Mo.
