Résumé tips given at Tuesday class

Effective résumés open doors to interviews, which lead to good jobs. Résumés get an average of 30 seconds of an employer’s time, so it is critically important that they make an immediate, positive impact.

A free résumé writing workshop has been scheduled Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. at Lake Tahoe Community College, room E-100. The workshop will teach participants to develop a résumé which presents their most relevant skills and experiences so that applicants look like a great fit for the job.

Topics include:

— The difference between chronological, functional, and combination résumés and the format that is best for one’s situation.

— What to include and what to leave out.

— How to de-emphasize gaps in employment history and other problem areas.

— The best format for electronic and faxed résumés.

nWhether or not to use résumé templates.
