GTRI's IDENTIFY ERG Invites You to the Resume Review Expo!

09.12.2024

We are excited to announce the upcoming GTRI Resume Review event hosted by the IDENTIFY@GTRI Employee Resource Group (ERG). This event is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 3, and will take place at GTRI Headquarters (250 14th Street, Atlanta). The event is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to noon, with registration from 8:30 - 9 a.m.

This valuable session is open to the community who are students, entry level, and mid-to-senior level professionals who are transitioning to new careers—and even to Georgia Tech students, staff, and research faculty. Spread the word!

 

What is the Resume Review Expo

This is an “outreach” event given by IDENTIFY@GTRI. IDENTIFY is an ERG, an inclusive and active community for GTRI employees who identify as minorities or persons of color, and allies.

To RSVP: Email IDENTIFYoutreach@gtri.gatech.edu .  You can also direct any questions to that email address.

This is not a "job fair." This is an opportunity to polish your resume or CV, and get other tips that will be helpful in your job search.

 

What to Expect

The planned agenda includes a 30-minute panel discussion, followed by a 10-15-minute Q&A session, and the remainder of the time will be dedicated to one-on-one resume reviews.
