My Fourth WBL Workshop

     Our Fourth WBL Workshop was about writing resumes and getting hired for jobs and internships. A resume is how a candidate advertises themselves to potential employers and can get candidates an interview with their potential employers. Employers use resumes to prescreen candidates, looking for the required skills and abilities needed for the job. Resumes compete with each other so it must include lot of valuable information in order to come out on top. Skills, accomplishments, abilities, past work/school activities, and educations are valuable pieces of information that can help a candidate compete with others. Besides having a name, address, and phone number a resume must be error free, have a clean/professional format, and have brief/well organized content. The content itself must list include information, such as skills and abilities, that make a candidate look good for a specific position. If someone is applying to be a teacher they must list their degrees in teacher, experience teaching, etc. and not other information like experience working at a deli. Overall, a resume is a personal brand  that advertises one's self to employers.
