Career Readiness Workshops

In the Spring 2021 Career Readiness class, we held virtual workshops for resume building and mock interviews. Apprentices Russell and Gabrielle discussed their experiences with these workshops.

Russell 

I really enjoyed both [workshops]. My favorite would have to be resume building because it helps with future jobs. I learned that it’s best to have more selections [on resumes] because it tells more about what you’ve experienced. I learned that you can say every detail but don’t go overboard [in interviewing]. I think I did good [with my resume] because I used the skills I learned in the class. I think my interview was good because I was calm, cool, and collected. [I learned] that being experienced always won’t get you the job and having evidence is always good.

 

Gabrielle

My favorite was the resume workshop because I’ve never made a resume and I didn’t think it would go as well as it did. I learned that the slightest things like babysitting still mean something on a resume. I learned that eye contact means a lot when it comes to interviews. I think I actually did good on my resume but with some help. I think I did okay [with my interview]. One piece of information is that first impressions mean a lot no matter what the job is. I had a great time in the class. I loved working with Brady and [Amelia] as well. Also that I have learned a lot of useful information that I will be using in the future.
