: Give your resume a final review!

Before submitting your resume, take a few minutes to review it with fresh eyes. Read it aloud to catch awkward phrasing, check for spelling and grammar errors, and make sure your skills and experience are easy to understand. Ask a friend, mentor, or trusted colleague to review it, too. A second set of eyes can catch things you might miss!

A polished resume helps you put your best foot forward.

The Boys and Girls Club of Sweetwater County visited the Rock Springs Workforce Center today. These 6th grade through 10th grade students learned about the development of transferable skills, the elements of a first resume, how to talk about the skills they are learning through volunteer and extracurriculars, and an introduction to interview skills. These bright kids participated fully in an interactive discussion and left with ideas on how they will apply their skills in the future. Well done!

It was so much fun to go out to the Community Connections Program for the last two days! We had interactive discussions about transferrable skills, what goes into a first resume, how to get your first job, and then they got some practice at interview questions. The biggest takeaway when we get to do this is that the future is bright, indeed. Thank you for your dedicated, lively participation!
