Carl Sandburg College’s Corporate & Leisure College is offering a pair of free seminars this month to assist job-seekers with resume writing and job interviews.
Resume 911: How to Write an Attention-Grabbing Resume will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. March 16, and Interview Bootcamp: How to Make Them Want to Hire You will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. March 23. Both sessions will be held in Room C204 on Sandburg’s Main Campus in Galesburg, 2400 Tom L. Wilson Blvd.
The sessions will be facilitated by Tracy Engstrom, Sandburg’s coordinator of career development, who also is an academy-certified resume writer and certified etiquette consultant.
The Resume 911 session will help attendees learn how to make a lasting, positive impact on a prospective employer in a short amount of time and help increase the chance of your resume getting to the top of the stack. Interview Bootcamp will go over how body language, posture, etiquette and nonverbal signals play a large role in a successful interview. Attendees will also learn how to answer difficult questions, develop interview strategies, improve their communication skills and reduce stress before a job interview.
Both Resume 911 and the Interview Bootcamp are free to attend, but pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, contact Sandburg’s Corporate & Leisure College at 309.341.5330 or community@sandburg.edu.
