Résumé Review Service

Sponsor: Membership Committee

If you are seeking a new job or your first professional job, would you like to have your résumé reviewed by the person who does the hiring? If you are not seeking a new job, would you like to know that your résumé is the best it can be -- just in case? Register for the Résumé Review Service and have your résumé reviewed, critiqued, and improved by a practicing librarian who hires library staff. Find out what information she wants, what is irrelevant, and whether your résumé has impact. You may also have your cover letter reviewed. This service is free, but you must pre-register. To pre-register, please contact Melissa Weathers by email at mweathers@metrolibrary.org not later than March 16.

Exhibits

Come to the exhibit hall on Tuesday and Wednesday morning and enjoy a complimentary breakfast with the vendors.
