Career Mentoring: Resumes 2 – March 20th, 2024

NRTG is offering FREE Resume and Job Strategies Workshops! 

NRTG’s Resumes and Job Search Strategies consists of three FREE sessions, each of two hours duration.  

The first two of these (Resumes I and II) are focussed on resume development to highlight your skills, experience, and knowledge specific to a job; the third session (Job Search Strategies) is how to focus your job search and go after the specific job(s) you want. 

This course is focussed on environmental jobs and work in the natural resource sectors. If you are seeking work within this arena, here you will get environmental specific guidance to apply for and retain a job. This is unlike most resume courses which are very general, and it is up to the student to determine how to adapt it to environmental work. Our highly experienced instructors will be providing environmental-specific advice to help you get that job you want. 

Our second session Resumes II covers the following material: 

• Well-structured lists – the backbone of the resume; how do we get the most impact from them? 
• Your choice of words – How to convey, compellingly, what you are saying  
• Appearance of the resume on the page – appearance matters. How to decide everything from spacing to fonts. 
• Quality assurance of your resume – This is the most important writing you do in your life. How do we make sure it is as good as can possibly be.  

NRTG has been offering Resumes and Job Search Strategies workshops over the past three years and have a record of helping students to find employment (or return to school if that is what they choose). Our staff and instructors are happy to – actually, they want to – advise, guide, and mentor people looking for work. NRTG can help you find and achieve that job you are wanting.
