CSIX Connect invites you to attend our upcoming Resume Workshop, featuring staff and contract recruiters from a number of local companies, including SanDisk, Lab126, BrightEdge/MMW, Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Premier Staffing, Aruba Networks, and TechProse.
In this 3-hour workshop, top Bay Area recruiters (with open jobs to fill) will conduct a hands-on, practical resume instruction and review for a limited number of CSIX members and friends. Participants will have recruiters review their resumes and learn what’s working, what isn’t and what changes would make a difference to their job search.
So what does your resume tell potential employers about you – whether you intend it to or not? What do recruiters see in it, and what don’t they? How might you increase the number of hiring managers your resume gets to? How might you decrease the number of ‘black holes’ it ends up in?
Come find out!

This workshop is all about the resume and how to create this very important document. It presumes you have already drafted at least one current resume, and are ready to refine it into a more effective self-presentation. The intent of the workshop is to provide honest, practical and direct feedback. What you are doing right, what you are doing wrong, and what you need to do to do better.
Arrive at 3:30PM for Networking and Coffee, one of the most valuable parts of the event!
The event will begin at 4PM with a short teaching session. Then in break-out sessions, pre-registered attendees will be allowed 1-on-1 personal resume critiques by these very experienced recruiters, who will provide candid feedback and coaching. The event will close with an all-attendees Q & A session to clarify how resumes are being “read” in the market today.
Please bring at least 20 copies of your resume that you don't mind others reviewing. Remember, this is about honest feedback and hands-on review. Advice given to one will be shared with all. If you are shy, still show up and listen to what is being said; active participation is encouraged but not required.
If you want your resume reviewed by the recruiters, sign up through CSIX’s online ticketing service, TicketLeap, and arrive before 4PM to turn in your resumes. Spaces are limited.
The price for attending the workshop is $5.00 when purchased online (here) in advance of the event. Should there be additional spaces available on the day, admission will be $10.00 (cash only, at the door) on a first come, first served basis.
Whether you’ve sent out one resume or dozens, you always wonder ‘what did the recruiters and hiring managers think of me?’ Why did or didn’t I make the cut? How can I up my odds?
