Extreme Makeover: Resumé Edition



Yesterday I worked with my brother on his resumé. After a couple of hours of updates and editing I think that we were both pretty happy with the end result. This process gave me the idea for a great program for College Students who are beginning to look at their career search with resumé preparation.

There are a variety of ways this could be presented, but I envision having a student or two dig out an old resume and then a person experience with resumé preparation or someone that reviews a lot of resumé would pick it apart and build it up to become more attractive and readable. Along the way the presenter should explain the changes and offer suggestions that might assist the audience.

This could be a fun way to teach resumé preparation with a currently popular theme. The tough part would be finding ways to continue to implement the theme through the program. If you are interested in help with this type of program, talk to Elaine Blair our Director of Career Services.
