Experiments Study Scavenger Hunt
Resume Workshop
On January 28, Upward Bound students participated in a
resume building workshop on the downtown campus of Grand Valley.
The facilitators started off the workshop with an icebreaker game
called “Heads Up.” The game helped the students get comfortable with
one another and also with the facilitators. The students were then
introduced to the importance of having and making a resume. They
were shown tips and examples of what makes a good resume. This
workshop offered the students an opportunity to understand the
qualities of a good resume and it also offered them an opportunity to
chat with resume experts from the career center . A big thank to you
the Delta Tau Lambda sorority for sponsoring this event.
