Ruby/Rails Résumé Crit by You
In January's "What do Employers Want" panel, you heard about do's and don'ts when it come to résumés. So this month, bring your resume for a group critique. We'll set 40 minutes for this exercise and spend only 5 minutes on each. We'll throw your résumé on screen and let attendees give you the once over. Only the brave or foolish need apply.
Unlike Art School Confidential, we'll try to not make you cry. :-)
To get on the crit queue
- Upload your résumé to the Files section. Make sure it's PDF.
- Add a response to the bottom of this event page with a link to your file. First come first serve.
I'm looking for one more talk this month. Email me if you want to present or host (venue, food, and/or drinks).
