Resumes for City, State and Federal Job Applications Workshop
Wednesday, September 11th, 12 PM ET
In this workshop, advisors from Penn Career Services will share advice and best practices for writing effective resumes for government jobs and internships. From learning about creating a “federal resume” (sort of a cross between a CV, in terms of its length and types of sections included, and a resume, in terms of the focus on skills), to approaches that will help with applications for State and City level opportunities, this session will highlight steps you can take and resources you can use when working on your materials.
