UNIVERSITY OUTREACH EVENTS — FALL 2016 SEPTEMBER Rapid Resume Review Rapid Resume Review is an event designed to give students instant feedback on the content of their resumes. Students and Professional Members who volunteer for the event are given just five minutes per round to focus on one specific aspect of a student’s resume. The idea is to provide insightful information to help students turn their resumes into something outstanding. OCTOBER Speed Mock Interview Using the same speed-date format as Rapid Resume Reviews, Speed Mock Interviews focus on strengthening the skills that help make students more confident in their ability to present themselves and shine during those intimidating professional interviews. NOVEMBER Industry Mixer Students are often interested in speaking with professionals about where their engineering or geoscience degrees will take them. The Industry Mixer is an informal opportunity for students to mingle with the Professional Members who volunteer for the event. It allows students to discover what opportunities lie ahead.
