University of Winnipeg PACE Resumania - Seeking Industry Professionals

Print this Article | Send to Colleague

The University of Winnipeg PACE is holding a second Resumania event as a result of the success of the first event. They are looking for industry professionals to be involved with the event to provide feedback on students' resumes.   

Resumania is based on the speed-mentoring concept. It helps PACE students gain a wider perspective on the screening criteria employers use to short list candidates for interviews or flag candidates for the discard pile. It provides students with the opportunity to meet one-on-one with recognized industry professionals and get feedback on their resumes. Students will move round-robin across 2 stations, where they will have 6 minutes with each professional. At the end of the evening, the students should obtain feedback from approximately 8-10 different industry professionals.
