Join the Quantitative Methods in the Social Science (QMSS) Program for a resume-building workshop with a special focus on highlighting & marketing your data-related skills from QMSS (and other!) courses.

In the first half of the workshop, students will receive general advice on how to structure a data-centric resume and some dos and dont's/tips and tricks for creating stronger application materials. In addition, students will get specific advice for how to market data and analytical skills taught in QMSS courses including QMSS 201, 301, and 451 that goes beyond a basic "skills" section. In the second half of the workshop, students will work in real-time on their own resumes to edit their skills and experience sections based on the previous content and ask questions one-on-one with the presenter about their specific resume, experiences, and/or goals.

Following the workshop, participants will have an opportunity to send their resume in and receive written feedback from the presenter and/or senior QMSS Peer Mentors as well as make one-on-one appointments with the presenter or QMSS Peer Mentors to discuss further.

Students are encouraged to bring a laptop or tablet to take notes, work on (or create!) your current resume, and/or ask specific questions during the workshop. You may also bring a printed version of your current resume to take notes and ask questions if you prefer.

Open to all students!
