Rapid changes in technology have dramatically changed the way employers find candidates, and in turn, job seekers must now adapt their resume style to fit into this process. In this session, join instructor Kate Dashner from Simple HR Solutions, to learn the trends in creating a modern resume that will get you past the applicant tracking systems and noticed by hiring managers. When you register, please indicate whether you would like to receive a resume review.  

This program will be presented virtually on Zoom. You will receive an e-mail with the participation weblink the week of the program.
