SUMMARY:Resume Writing Lab
DESCRIPTION:Bring your sloppy copy\, your rough draft\, your outdated resume! We are here to help. Whether you need to sharpen the format or the content\, the lab-style setting offers the opportunity for small-group support. \n    Important Note: \n\nThis is not a 1:1 resume review session – you will be working on your own resume and resume writing takes time. Please do not expect to leave with a perfect resume after attending one lab. You are welcome to attend multiple labs if needed.
