Los Angeles City University students are hosting a resume writing workshop on November 10, 2024, aimed at helping peers develop effective resumes and job-seeking skills.
 
In an effort to equip their peers with essential job-seeking skills, students at Los Angeles City University (LACU) will host a comprehensive workshop on resume writing on November 10, 2024. This event aims to provide practical insights and hands-on experience to help attendees craft effective resumes that stand out in today’s competitive job market.
The workshop will take place in the LACU Student Center from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Open to all LACU students, the event is designed to address the unique challenges faced by job seekers, including the importance of tailoring resumes for specific job applications and effectively highlighting relevant skills and experiences.
"Resumes are often the first impression a potential employer has of a candidate, and it's crucial to make that impression count," said Jenna Morales, a senior and one of the workshop organizers. "We want to empower our fellow students with the tools they need to succeed in their job search."
The workshop will feature a panel of experienced speakers, including career counselors from LACU’s Career Services department and local industry professionals. They will share valuable tips on resume formatting, content selection, and common pitfalls to avoid. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities, including resume reviews and peer feedback sessions, ensuring that each attendee leaves with a polished resume.
"At LACU, we believe in the importance of practical experience alongside academic learning," said Dr. Samuel Green, the director of Career Services. "This workshop not only supports our students in their career aspirations but also fosters a sense of community as they work together to enhance their skills."
In addition to the resume writing component, the event will also touch on effective networking strategies and the role of LinkedIn in the job search process. Students will learn how to leverage their online presence to attract potential employers and build professional connections.
To maximize participation, LACU encourages students to register in advance. Those interested can sign up through the university’s event portal or by contacting the Career Services office. Refreshments will be provided for all attendees, ensuring a welcoming environment for networking and learning.
The resume writing workshop is part of a broader initiative by LACU to enhance career readiness among students. Throughout the academic year, the university plans to offer a series of workshops and seminars on various topics, including interview preparation, personal branding, and job search strategies.
