GRF Seema had a lot of extensive knowledge when it came to sharing it with us in the workshop. However, I do wish she could have shared her resume with us at maybe different levels of her education just to be able to observe her evolution. She described the resume building as a snapshot of yourself, because employers will only scan the resume for about ten seconds to see what you may offer to the able. When employers are scanning they seem to look for: position qualifications, academic achievement, and leadership positions held as well. There were some DONTs for resume/cv building, for example, using two columns to convey information is too confusing of a format to read. Another example, was using different colored or types of fonts which can make your resume/cv look unprofessional.

Also, she gave as advice on other aspects when applying to positions. You have to make sure to have people that can spend time and vouch for you. You also want a person with the highest position possible to write your recommendation letter for you. Be short, concise, and to the point in your resume/cv. Lastly, understand there kind of person you are and protect that.
