The FAMU-FSU Student Chapter of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) will hold its 2nd General Body Meeting of the Spring 2013 semester on Thursday, January 24th at 5:30pm in A113.
In preparation for Industry Day, the BMES will be hosting a workshop by Melissa Forges, Assistant Director of Engineering, Employer Relations & Recruitment Services at The Florida State University Career Center. Ms. Forges will be discussing "Career Expo Readiness/Strategies."
ABSTRACT: If you aren't sure where to begin in writing your resume, this workshop is for you! The Resume Writing workshop involves a discussion of the purpose of a resume, the various sections within a resume, different resume styles, and strategies for formatting your resume. Common mistakes made in writing resumes are discussed, as are "Do's" and "Don'ts" of resume writing. Writing cover letters and developing lists of references are also part of this workshop. In addition, we will briefly discuss how to prepare for the interview in terms of researching yourself, thinking about why an employer would want to hire you, researching the employer, knowing what to expect in an interview, how to dress properly, how to deal with anxiety. The workshop will cover typical interview questions, questions you might wish to ask the employer, and steps to take following the interview.
Bring questions and resumes for answers and review. Refreshments will be served compliments of BMES. All members and non-members are welcome.
Bring all your friends and hope to see you all there!
