Career Corner
Are you currently employed in your field of study or a “related” position? Are you beginning to receive offers of employment that will ultimately assist you in stepping up or into your dream career? Is your phone ringing weekly with interview requests?

If you find yourself answering “no” to any of the questions above, perhaps it is time to re-evaluate your résumé. Remember, the first step on your career path must be a strong résumé that clearly defines your accomplishments and qualifications. Think of your résumé as a promotional brochure about you. You need to show the employer what you have accomplished and where your experience lies. Your strategy should be to emphasize the experience and skill that a particular company is seeking. Your résumé is also an example of your communication and organizational skills.

Now that you realize the importance of finalizing and fine-tuning your résumé, let’s get it done! Academy College is now offering résumé workshops twice a week. These are open to all Academy College students and graduates. Feel free to join us in the library at your convenience. Questions? Contact Tracey Schantz at 952.851.0066 or email.

Résumé workshops take place on Tuesdays, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm and Wednesdays, 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm

Please complete a “Résumé Helper” prior to attendance. You will find the “Résumé Helper” worksheet located throughout the school.
