Will Your Resume Get You Hired?
The Chamber and the Central Illinois Human Resource Group (CiHRG) have partnered to host a resume clinic on Tuesday, December 1 in response to escalating unemployment numbers in Champaign County. Bring a copy of your current resume and cover letter and let human resource experts help you make a winning first impression for an employer. Get tips and learn how to tailor your resume and cover letter to the job you want. Bring a thumb drive with your saved resume in a Word document, and you can save your corrections on-site.
The workshop will be held from 2:30-5 p.m. at the Chamber office, 1817 S. Neil St., Ste. 201, Champaign. There is no fee to attend, but registration is requested. Contact Norma Wesley at 217.531.4669 or NormaW@champaigncounty.org. |
