This hybrid workshop takes place in person in Enterprise Hall 038 and virtually on Blackboard. If you are attending virtually, please join the Blackboard meeting 10 minutes prior to the start of the workshop from a laptop or desktop computer - do not attend using a smartphone or other mobile device as you will need to be able to both edit your resume and show it to your reviewer during the workshop. Cameras are not required, but you will need to be able to use a microphone to participate - you should attend from a quiet space where you will not be interrupted.
