Please note: This event is exclusive to participants of the Circular Mentorship program.

According to research summarized by Chris Kolmar on Zippia.com, job seekers typically need to submit 50 to 100 resumes before securing a job offer.

One major reason is the speed at which recruiters review applications. Studies show that hiring managers often spend only about 6 seconds skimming a resume during the initial screening.

Due to this extremely short review time, having a professionally written, well-structured, and targeted resume is essential to stand out. Whether you're actively seeking new employment or aiming to advance within your current organization, attending the upcoming resume workshops is highly recommended to increase your chances of success.

Workshop Details:

Session 1: Building Your Master Resume
Wednesday, March 11 | 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Central time
Your master resume is a comprehensive document where you list every skill, duty, accomplishment, certification, project, and job you have completed. This information is not intended for your final resume; it serves as a reference to draw from when tailoring your applications.
Session 2: Crafting Targeted Resumes
Wednesday, April 8 | 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Central time
A targeted résumé is specifically tailored to match what the employer is looking for when applying for a job. This session will focus on adapting your master resume to highlight the most relevant experience for each opportunity.
