How do I sign up for a one-on-one resume review session? The Career Center also hosts several hours of 30-minute one-on-one resume review sessions with career experts. You must sign up in advance to reserve your spot! You will be able to sign up for a review session starting at noon on Saturday, February 2 in the Career Center. Get there early – space is limited and the sessions will fill up quickly! What should I bring for my resume review? Bring a printed copy of your resume/CV (resume printing is available in the Career Center for this purpose) and make sure to be on time! I missed my resume review session. Can I sign up for another one? No. Unfortunately, you can only sign up one time, as space is limited. As a courtesy to your colleagues, if you know you aren't going to be able to attend your appointment, please cancel your session so someone else may take advantage of this service. If you missed your session or did not get a spot before space filled up, there will be shorter resume review sessions on Wednesday morning, February 6. These spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. What should I attend? There are numerous workshops aimed at helping job applicants improve their networking and interview skills, negotiate career transitions, and more! Read the complete list here! You can also add sessions to your schedule on the online Itinerary Planner. These workshops do not require advanced registration. All Career Center sessions will be presented by Monica Weil and/or Joe Tringali, career experts brought in courtesy of the Early Careers Committee. Collectively, Monica and Joe have nearly 50 years of career consulting, recruiting and coaching experience in the biotechnology, life sciences and pharmaceutical industries. Some sessions will be presented twice during the meeting to give attendees scheduling flexibility without missing helpful workshops. If you miss a workshop, you will not be able to get copies of the slides (for copyright reasons), so be sure to schedule carefully!
