Free Resume Workshop

The Crawfordsville District Public Library continues its Job Search Skills Series with a two-hour Resume Workshop on Wednesday, October 23^rd. The workshop will begin at 10 am in Classroom D on the library’s lower level. You can sign up to attend online or call the Adult Services Reference Desk at 765-362-2242, ext. 3. Registration is required and attendance is limited to 10 students, so don’t wait to sign up!

The first hour will include a presentation with handouts and plenty of time for questions and answers. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to have their resume critiqued. Never written a resume before? Need to update your old resume? This class is for you. Wondering which resume format to use? Unsure what information to include in your resume? Get answers to these questions and many more in this informative presentation.

The second hour will be a more hands-on experience. Thanks to a grant from the Montgomery County Community Foundation, laptops will be provided for this class. Basic computer skills are required and a flash drive is recommended. If you don’t have your own flash drive, you can purchase one at the Adult Services desk on the 2nd floor. Either way, you will be able to get help building your resume from scratch or editing the one you already have.

The instructor for this series is Lisa Comingore, Library Assistant in the Adult Services department on the second floor. Before working at the library, Lisa was a human resources professional and recruiter. She has also taught resume writing and interview skills to hundreds of job seekers and is very excited to use this experience to assist library patrons.

If you are unable to attend the classes, the library has some great resources for you to check out. “Resumes for Dummies, 8th Edition,” (650.142 DeC) and “Modernize Your Resume, 3rd Edition,” (650.14 Ene) are both available on the second floor of the library. Additionally, www.themuse.com is a fantastic resource for job seekers and hiring managers alike.

We look forward to assisting you either in class or on the second floor soon! Our hours of operation are Monday-Thursday 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Friday and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
