Resume Writing on Zoom
YOUR FIRSTRESUME.SORTED.
Weekly sessions on Zoom where a volunteer helps you write, fix or polish your resume — from a blank page to something you'd happily send. Run by volunteers, so we're always looking for more.
Writing a resume is hard when you've never seen a good one. These weekly Zoom sessions pair young people with a volunteer who knows what employers actually read — and who'll help you say what you've done in a way that lands.
Bring whatever you've got: a draft, a job ad you're looking at, or nothing at all. Leave with a resume you can send, and a clearer idea of how to talk about yourself.
The sessions are run entirely by volunteers. If you've hired people, written a lot of resumes, or just have a good eye — you could run one.
What happens
- Sit down on Zoom with a volunteer for about an hour
- Build a resume from scratch, or fix the one you've got
- Tailor it to a job you're actually going for
