Resume Building Workshop

Posted by Subject Area Tutoring in Current Tutors, Meetings and Events.

Let’s be honest for a quick moment. Does your tutoring experience look a little something like this on your resume:

“Helped students with Math and Physics.” ?

Many of you will soon be applying for summer jobs or internships, or graduating and taking the plunge into the “grown-up” job market. Whether you are a first yer student or senior, it’s really never too soon to begin crafting a professional resume.Whatever your situation, you all work too hard to not have your experience as a peer tutor in the Learning Co-op bolster your resume. If you think yours could use a little work to better your reflect your time as a tutor–or whatever else– bring your resume to a workshop we’ve designed with Career Services specifically for student staff members in the Learning Co-op on Tuesday, March 20 from 5:30-7:00. The workshop will be in L/L CM 315.

Space is limited, so please sign up or decline attendance by following this link. We look forward to seeing you there!

Mind Your P’s and Q’s

Posted by Subject Area Tutoring in Current Tutors, Food for Thought.

Many of you are about to begin, if you have not already, interviewing for graduate programs, internships, summer jobs, full-time jobs… any manner of things really.  I thought this short article had some solid advice.  In short, remember to thank the people with whom you interview both as a common courtesy and as a way of indicating your interest in the position.  Good luck!

Also, to further help you all succeed on the job market, the Learning Co-op will be partnering with Career Services to host a resume-writing event.  Your experiences here as a tutor look great on a resume, and the Career Services folks can make sure it looks its best.  I’ll have more details soon regarding the where and when of this event.
