Hello Allen School Fam,

A reminder that the rapid resume review workshop will be held today, January 21^st, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm in the Microsoft Atrium in CSE1.

This workshop, for Allen School CSE majors only, is designed to allow students to gather tips from the experts to turn their resume drafts into documents that will help land their dream job or internship.

All you need to attend is a few printed copies of your resume–anything from a rough draft to almost-finished product is fine. Show up anytime between 3:00 and 5:00 pm (plan on 20 minutes per review) to share your resume with one or more recruiters or technical interview experts from several of our affiliate companies, both large and small. These experts will provide resume advice to get your resume in great shape for the upcoming recruiting fair on January 28^th and 29^th.
