My role was a student and a participant. The activities in this webinar provided a back-to-basics opportunity to learn the importance and fundamentals of building a resume and a cover letter. During the session, I learned important skills about what employers are looking for in job applications, how to effectively showcase my skills and experiences, and how to put a final touch on my resume and cover letter to stand out in a competitive job market. I also learned from the webinar that you should put your objectives on the top of your resume. This is a new feature about resumes I learned from the webinar that Temple University&#8217;s Fox School of Business and the MIS Department did not teach me about. Fox talks about resumes a lot and MIS has its format of a resumes structure. Main Line Chamber of Commerce&#8217;s Talent and Education Network has a different format for resumes. In order to have a successful career goal, it is important to learn and know the fundamentals of a resume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26727,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-31","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/latecki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/31","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/latecki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/latecki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/latecki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26727"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/latecki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/latecki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/31\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/latecki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
